DC Shutout By Ohio Northern

ADA, OHIO- The Defiance College men's soccer team was shutout, 9-0, by the Ohio Northern University Polar Bears in a non-conference matchup in Ada, Ohio.

The first shot for the Yellow Jacket (2-4-1) offense was produced in the 15th minute of play by freshman Pedro Chavez (Lafayette, Ind./Jefferson). Chavez's shot was the lone attempt for DC in the first period. 

The Polar Bears (8-0-1) scored their first goal of the evening at the 19:05 mark. Goal two was scored roughly six minutes later during the 26th minute and went on to add two more goals during the 33rd and 40th minutes which led to a sizeable 4-0 advantage for ONU at the break. 

The Polar Bears started the second half off quickly when they scored their fifth goal just a little over one minute into play. The Polar Bear offense remained hot scoring four more goals the remainder of the half with markers at the 52:58, 60:16, 64:24 and 82:05 marks as ONU cruised to the 9-0 victory.

Defiance took two shots in the final half with the first coming at the  84:11 mark off the foot of senior Victor Trifiro (Akron/Walsh Jesuit), missing high. Freshman Quinlan Armstrong (Kettering/Chamindale Julienne) recorded the other shot attempt for the Jackets, but his shot would also miss high. 

At goalkeeper, sophomore Clay Musgrave (Upper Sandusky) played the entire game giving up nine goals and had nine saves. 

The Yellow Jackets will return home to take on Baldwin Wallace University on Saturday, Sept. 24 at Winsper-Knobel Memorial Field as part of a soccer doubleheader with the DC women's team.  The men will begin the day at 1 p.m., followed by the women against BW at 3:30 p.m.
