And just before the end of the opening half, John Nwoko broke free to score in the 44^th minute off the assist from Abraham Figueroa to send Rio Hondo into the break with a big lead.

In the second, Gabriel Igbokwe sealed the Roadrunner victory with his goal in the 54^th minute.

SDCC (0-1-0) finally broke up the Rio Hondo shutout late in the contest, getting its lone goal in the 85^th minute by Dalton Kinney.

Sebastian Guillen recorded three saves in goal for the Roadrunners in the complete-game effort.

Rio Hondo, now 1-0-1, returns to action on Saturday (Aug. 31) when the Roadrunners complete their two-day San Diego trip with a 11 a.m. game at MiraCosta College in Oceanside.
