DEFIANCE, Ohio – The DC men's soccer team continued to struggle offensively on Saturday as they were defeated, 2-0, by HCAC foe Hanover College. The loss drops the Yellow Jackets to 2-4 in conference competition.
Hanover took the early lead when Timothy Boldt connected off a Miles Kroner assist to give the Panthers a one goal advantage 11 minutes into the first half. The game remained locked at 1-0 until midway through the second half when Hanover's Andrew Illnick found the net to put the Panthers up by two.
Defiance outshot Hanover 11-6 in the match, but Hanover goalkeeper Michael Hansford made several athletic saves to keep the Jackets off the scoreboard. DC's Kevin Elson, Tony Cornell and Kirk Caudill each recorded two shots in the game to lead the Jackets offensively.
The Yellow Jackets (5-10, 2-4) will return to action on Wednesday, October 28, when they host Manchester (3-12, 2-4), beginning at 4:00 p.m.
