DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College men's soccer team could not withstand the offensive attack of Trine University, dropping a 6-0 decision on Wednesday, September 17. The Jackets fall to 0-6 this season, dropping their third straight match at Matthew Winsper-Knobel Memorial Field.

The Thunder scored early and often in the first half, scoring three goals in the first twenty minutes on their way to a commanding 3-0 lead at the break. The Trine attack continuously pressured DC keeper Mitch Livensparger throughout the match, scoring three more goals in the final period while outshooting Defiance 31-3 on the day.

Chris Tabor led the Jackets with two shots, while Joseph Loftis had DC's only other shot of the match. Livensparger finished the contest with seven saves, pushing his season total to 41.

Defiance returns to action next Wednesday, September 24, when it travels to Tiffin, Ohio for a 7:00 p.m. tilt with Heidelberg College.
