HANOVER, Ind. – DC saw the host Hanover squad find the net twice in the first six minutes on Saturday and never recovered. The Jackets went on to fall, 4-0, for their third loss in as many matches in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.
The Panthers wasted little time taking control of the contest, by scoring goals at the 2:32 and 6:00 minute markers of the opening half. The lead would then swell to 3-0 with a goal in the waning minutes of the period.
Defiance would manage to slow down the Hanover attack in the second session, allowing only one Panther score over the final 45 minutes of action. DC could not find the answer on offense, however and fell by the 4-0 margin.
The Jackets (0-12, 0-3 HCAC) will be back in action on Tuesday when they host Bluffton (5-6-1, 1-2 HCAC) at 4:00 pm.
