Calvin 1, Trine 1 (OT tie)

ANGOLA, IN - The see-saw MIAA men’s soccer race took another twist on Tuesday
as Calvin tied Trine 1-1 Tuesday afternoon. The tie drops Calvin out of sole
possession of first place in the MIAA standings and into second place, two
points behind Kalamazoo (5-2-0 MIAA) which defeated Albion 3-0 on Tuesday.
Calvin (4-1-2 MIAA) holds a one-point lead over third place Adrian, Olivet and
Trine which are all 4-2-1 on the year.

Calvin got on the board in the 54th minute on a goal by senior Lucas
Wilgenburg on shot off a corner kick play. Trine came back to tie the game five
minutes later however and neither team would score again.
Calvin nearly took the lead in the closing minutes of regulation as junior
back Justin Ahearne headed the ball off a long throw-in that appeared headed
for the back of the net. Trine goalkeeper Nick Thon came up with a leaping save
to prevent the go-ahead goal.
Calvin finished with a 16-15 shots at goal advantage. Trine outshot Calvin
11-7 in the first half but Calvin outshot the Thunder 5-4 over the next 45
minutes and 4-0 in the two overtime sessions.

saves for Trine in the contest.
