CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR OCTOBER 14, 2003
MEN'S SOCCER
ALMA * Calvin (9-4 overall, 5-1 MIAA) kept a grip on their first place tie in the MIAA with a 1-0 victory over the hosting Alma Scots (4-8 overall, 2-4 MIAA). The Knights are tied with Hope College and Kalamazoo College with 14 points each. Calvin goalkeeper sophomore Joe Westra (Grand Rapids Christian) went the distance and accumulated his fourth shutout of the season. Calvin opponents have gone scoreless in the last 255 minutes, with Westra being the backbone in net for the entire stint.
Calvin scored the one and only goal of the game in the 32nd minute when the substitution of junior Scott McPheeters (Carman-Ainsworth) proved to be instant offense, scoring less than a minute after checking in. McPheeters' goal was assisted by sophomore Kurt Visker (Grand Rapids Christian) who started the offensive push from his defensive position.
Alma's goalkeeper Kyle Lieberman was its shining spark by making a number of spectacular saves to keep his team in the game, but his teammates were unable to convert on their chances.
Calvin will ride their five-game win streak into Saturday's match-up at Tri-State at 3:00 p.m. EST.
