CLINTON, Miss. --- The Mississippi College men's soccer team held their annual Alumni game on Saturday afternoon. The Choctaws defeated the alumni 6-3.
 
Former players from past teams and alumni were welcomed back to Longabaugh Field for a friendly 90-minute scrimmage, as the Choctaws aimed to prepare for their upcoming regular-season slate.
 
"This is something that we look forward to every year," Head Coach Kevin Johns said. "It is a day that we want to obviously get out and work on some things as a team, but the fact that we get to see some of the guys that were responsible for some of the more memorable moments here also makes it a special day from that aspect."
 

Senior Jacob Farthing led the way for the Choctaws offensively, knocking in a team-high two goals on theday. Joshua Robinson, Victor Bazan , Marco Profumo and Dominic Snee all also scored a goal for the Choctaws in the contest.
 

The Choctaws will open up regular-season play on Thursday, Aug.31 when they host Sunshine State Conference-opponent Nova Southeastern University.
