The defending Tri-County Conference champions are off to a good start.
The Yuba City High boys soccer team took down Inderkum 3-1 in the TCC opener on Wednesday night at Honker Stadium.
Yuba City (4-2-3, 1-0) hasn't lost a TCC match since Oct. 7, 2010.
The Tigers jumped out to a 1-0 lead within the first 5 minutes of play, but Marcos Gonzalez evened the score at 1-1 going into the half.
The Honkers scored twice in the second half with a goal from Michael Chavez on an assist from Donovan Guzman. Javier Fernandez assisted Miguel Coyazo for the third score.
