    MEN’S SOCCER

    The Calvin men’s soccer team started its 2002 campaign heading in the right direction—with a victory. The Knights defeated Taylor University 3-1 in the opening game of the Ralph Ketner Classic hosted by Tri-State University.
    Calvin jumped on the scoreboard first with an early goal by Joel Veldhouse (Sioux Falls Christian), the talented transfer from Creighton University. Freshman Levi Kool (Holland Christian) struck next as he received a pass from sophomore Joel VandeKoppe (Grand Rapids Christian) and tallied his first goal of the season at the 10:44 mark. After Taylor scored on a penalty kick, Calvin responded with a goal by freshman John Van Wylen(Grand Rapids Christian), on an assist from junior back Mike Standfest (Elk Rapids) to put the game out of reach.
    Calvin will play Huntington College at noon tomorrow (Saturday).
