SCC Roller Hockey Club improves to 6-5 record at season’s midpoint After a slow start and dropping their first two games of the 2013-14 season, the SCC Roller Hockey Club “A” team won its next four games and ended the first semester with a 6-5 record. Wins for the Cougars have come against Kansas State University, Illinois State University, Lindenwood University-Gold and Illinois University, as well as two decisive conference victories against St. Louis Community College. “For sure, we’ve had better starts to our seasons in the past, but we attribute the slow start this year to a really tough schedule out of the gate,” said Cougars Coach Erick Cantrell. “What matters is that we’re still unbeaten against teams in our division, and the first game after the new year is another conference match.” The Cougars’ “B” team has faced opponents that are, for the most part, outside their division and competitive level, and the team has a 0-9 record to show for it. “We’re facing an uphill battle in the second semester, but adversity is important for growth,” Cantrell said. On the heels of last year’s national title win over Saddleback College, the Cougars “A” team has secured an automatic invitation to the championship tournament in April.

Colorful lights brighten the center of the SCC campus in late November and all throughout December.

SCC community celebrates, brings joy to others As twinkling lights lined the campus, a festive atmosphere and the spirit of giving brought the Fall 2013 semester to a close. Departments and student clubs teamed up to “adopt-a-family” and help SCC students, faculty and staff with families in need. SCC’s social sciences classes collected more than 3,000 cans and 50 pounds of dry food for the neighboring Calvary Church food pantry.

SCC employees took a break from work and gathered together for the annual winter social, themed “Home Is Where the Heart Is,” Dec. 5. Door-decorating contest winners were announced at the event.
