ALMA MEN'S SOCCER FALLS TO HOPE 2-0
The Alma's Men Soccer team played a road game at Hope College on Tuesday and departed with a hard-fought 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Flying Dutchmen. The loss dropped the Scots to 1-6 in MIAA play and 2-11 overall, while Hope improved to 10-1-2 on the 2008 season (6-1, MIAA).
After a hotly-contested scoreless first half, Hope opened the scoring at the 61:10 mark when Shaun Groetsema took a pass from James Trebilcock and put it past Alma GK Jon Nowak. Hope made the score 2-0 at 79:02 when Mitch Kinner scored on a goal assisted by Groetsema and the home team was able to hold on for the league win.
Hope led the way in shots for the game by a margin of 10-5 (5-3 SOG) and Dave Korte paced the Scots with two shots. Nowak had three saves for Alma, who next plays this Saturday when they travel to Adrian for another MIAA tilt.
