Box Score ANGOLA, Ind. - The Trine
University men's soccer team extended their unbeaten streak
to seven games with a 2-0 win over conference opponent Alma
College. The Thunder are now 6-0-1 on the season and 2-0 in the
MIAA.
Both teams had several opportunities in the
opening half including a breakaway by senior Foster Webb (Auburn,
Ind./Dekalb) who just pushed the wide left.
The Thunder finally put a mark on the board when
Webb headed the ball home off a rebound almost 12 minutes into the
second half. After junior Curtis Holcom (Converse, Ind./Oak Hill)
hit the post on his own header, Webb was there in front of the net
to knock the ball home for his third of the year.
The Trine defense came up huge in the second half
not allowing the Scots to get a single shot on net.
Trine put the game away when Holcom found senior
Sean Sullivan (Brighton, Mich./Brighton) for the goal. After the
Alma goalie tried to make a sliding stop on Holcom, he then found
Sullivan wide open on the right wing as he put the ball away in the
wide open net. The goal was Sullivan's second of the
season.
Senior Nick Thon (South Haven, Mich./South Haven)
made three saves in goal on the afternoon earning his fifth shutout
of the season.
Trine will look to continue their winning ways as
they travel to Hope College for a 7:00 p.m. match on September
24.
