Anchored by senior forward Samba Cande’s two-goal performance, the Hilltoppers defeated a spunky Bengals squad 3-0 Saturday morning in non-league boys’ soccer action at a sunny Mac Aldrich field.

Cande’s slider ranges from 81-89 mph, sits 83 and has a slight cutter action. His 77-82 mph curveball averages 80. Getting it to break down and a bit glove side more consistently has been a focus.
