Media Credit: Joel Wulf Running out of time. A few more chances remain for the Lady Rangers soccer team to improve their winning percentage.

There hasn't been much to look forward to this
season for the Olympic College Rangers soccer
teams.
With the women's team at 1-13 and the men
at 1-11-1, the NWAACC playoffs are out of the
question, but a few victories can be had before
the season closes.
The Lady Rangers have four games left, including
games against Clackamas and Tacoma, who
lead their respective divisions. The three final
games of the season will be played at home.
The men will face Tacoma and West Division
leaders Peninsula and Highline to close out the
season. OC will host the Tacoma and Highline
games.
Both the men's and women's teams are under
new coaching staffs following the departure of
head coach George Campbell, who had coached
both teams since the program's inception in
2004.
