Box Score ANGOLA, Ind. - It was a
tough ending to homecoming weekend for the Trine University
men's soccer team as they dropped their first game of the
season, 1-0 to Olivet College. The Thunder are now 7-1-2 on
the season and 3-1-1 in the conference.
The lone goal of the game came at the 24 minute
mark when the Comets initial shot was deflected off a Trine
defender and Adam Wright gathered the rebound and fired it into the
top right corner.
Trine had several opportunities to score
including a free kick with just a few minutes remaining in the game
by senior Femi Adediji (Cedar Park, Tex./Vista Ridge) that sailed
just high of the goal. Junior Andre Hilson (Bremen, Ind./Bremen)
led the Thunder with six shots, four on which were on goal.
Senior Nick Thon (South Haven, Mich./South Haven)
made four saves in goal on the night. Thon had his consecutive
scoreless streak snapped at 842:41 with the Olivet goal.
Thon's shutout streak ranks him 9th all-time in NCAA Division
III men's soccer. The goal also marked the first time Thon
has been scored on this season, as he was the last remaining goalie
in the Division III to allow a goal.
The Thunder will look to return to their winning
ways as they host Adrian College on October 5 at 4:00 p.m.
