Trinity Men's Soccer Shuts out Springfield
Springfield, Mass. - A goal by junior back Austin Lan (Chatham, N.J.) in the 37th minute proved to be the only scoring in the contest as the No. 15-ranked Trinity College Bantam men's soccer team won at the Springfield College Pride, 1-0, on a rainy, windy, and cold afternoon on Brock-Affleck Field. The Bantams improve to 10-1-1, while the Pride drop to 4-10-1.
The weather played a major factor in the game as constant rain proved to make the surface slick and difficult for either team to control the ball. After controlling much of the play in the first half, Trinity broke into the scoring column with just under 9 minutes left in the opening stanza. Lan connected with a pass from sophomore forward Dan Mayermick (Gladwyne, Pa.) and found the back of the net for what would prove to be the game-winner.
Springfield had its chances to score in the contest but was unable to convert. For the game, Trinity held a slight 13-11 advantage in shots , while Springfield held a 6-5 edge in corner kicks. Chris Walton finished with four saves in goal for the Pride, while Grant Schonberg (Mendham, N.J.) needed to just make one stop en route to the shutout victory.
