Box Score ANGOLA, Ind. - It was
another tough luck loss for the Trine University men's soccer
team as two second half goals by Manchester University sent the
Thunder home with a 2-1 loss on the final day of Trine's
Ketner Classic. The Thunder fall to 1-3 on the season.
Trine got on the board first in the 41st minute
when sophomore Karston Shephard (Plainfield, Ind./Plainfield) found
senior Andre Hilson (Bremen, Ind./Bremen) with a long pass to the
top of the box. Hilson then buried the ball home into the top left
corner for his third goal in as many games.
The Spartans scored quickly in the second half as
Dian Radev netted a goal just three minutes into the half. Cody
Freels would score the game-winner for Manchester in the 74th
minute as Trine was unable to tally the equalizer on several late
opportunities.
Sophomore Chris Stewart (Rochester Hills,
Mich./Rochester) made five stops in net for the Thunder.
Hilson led all players with seven total shots,
three of which came on target.
For the match, the Thunder out-shot Manchester
15-11, but seven of the Spartans shot came on goal compared to six
for Trine.
The Thunder will wrap-up their non-conference
schedule when they travel to Defiance College on September 11 for a
4:00 p.m. game.
