MEN'S SOCCER
Calvin reached the double-digit plateau for the 25th time in school history and
for the 23rd time in the last 26 years with a 3-1 triumph over visiting Olivet
Saturday afternoon in front of a Parent's Day Crowd at Calvin Field.
Calvin used a come-from-behind effort to improve to 10-5-2 overall and to 7-3
in the MIAA as the Knights trailed 1-0 at halftime after the Comets (4-11
overall, 2-8 MIAA) scored on a goal by Jason Shinabarger in the 15th minute of
play.
Calvin broke through for its first score on a goal by sophomore Sam DeYoung
(Western Michigan Christian) in the 67th minute. DeYoung broke free up the right
wing after collecting a perfectly placed lead pass from junior Charles Telep
(Sewickley, PA). The goal by DeYoung was his fourth goal of the year. Sophomore
Eric Krauss (Grosse Pointe) was then brought down in the Olivet penalty box
after breaking free on a rush. The Olivet foul resulted in a Calvin penalty
pick and Calvin sophomore Mike Standfest (Elk Rapids) took full advantage,
blasting in his fourth goal of the year on the PK.
Sophomore David DeBoer (Western Michigan Christian) provided the clinching goal
moments later, accepting a lead pass from Krauss and firing in a shot just
inside the far post for his second goal of the year.
Calvin outshot Olivet 24-10 and held a 10-3 advantage on corner kicks. Senior
Matt Thelen (Grand Haven) and junior Justin Bouw (Unity Christian) combined on
the victory in nets for Calvin with Thelen collecting four saves. The victory
in goal by Thelen was the 44th of his career, ranking third on the Calvin career
list.
Calvin returns to action on Monday when it travels to Kalamazoo for a 3:00 pm
contest to be played at the Ed Annen Sports Complex.
