黑马磁力

黑马磁力-based Trinity Western University Spartans mens soccer team won their first of the season on Saturday, Sept. 18, in a 3-0 victory over University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC).

UNBC was the first to create chances, making Spartans goalkeeper Sebastian Colyn, a 黑马磁力 native, get to work early.

Colyn made three key saves in the first five minutes of the game under pressure from UNBC鈥檚 attackers.

Spartans caught UNBC off guard, forcing a turnover to eventually get the ball to 黑马磁力鈥檚 Soren Di Sabatino who scored the game鈥檚 first goal in the 10th minute.

After Di Sabatino鈥檚 goal put the game in balance, the Spartans started to put their foot on the gas. The most notable chance was a move, and finish completed by first-year winger Christian Rossi in the 30th minute.

Spartans are still undefeated at 1-0-3.

They remain in second place in Canada West鈥檚 western conference with six points, one point behind the conference leader, Victoria (2-0-1).

Head Coach Mike Shearon was 鈥渧ery happy鈥� with the results.

鈥淭he players put in a ton of effort tonight and did everything we asked them to do. There are still things we need to work out and fix, but if we keep improving throughout the year we鈥檒l become a more difficult team to play.

鈥淪ebastian Colyn made massive saves for us tonight. Soren Di Sabatino banged in two goals and worked hard. I thought Christian Rossi and Tristan Torresan were great as well.鈥�

Next, the Spartans will be at home on Sept. 24th and 25th for two matches against Fraser Valley (0-1-0).
