Spartans Get Job Done

Langley, British Columbia - It was a physical hard-fought match Thursday night between Trinity Western University and the visiting University of Calgary. But it was the Spartans who came out on top of the scoreboard with a 5-0 win.

Even with the Spartans controlling much of the play, the Dinos did not back down. Calgary (1-0-3) tried to push the Spartans off of their game, but TWU remained focused as they finished off the match for their third league win (3-1-1) and 13th overall (13-1-2).

"We did the things that we needed to do in the second half," said TWU Head Coach Al Alderson. "We have had leads in the last three games that we have played and keeping a lead late in a game can be difficult, but tonight we were able to maintain control of the match and build on our lead."

Midfielder Nick Perugini (Montreal, PQ) opened the scoring for the Spartans in the 20th minute. Working off of a free kick, Perugini caught Calgary keeper Rick Urbanczyk (Calgary, AB) off of his line and chipped the ball off the cross bar and into the back of the Dinos net.

Then in the 26th minute, Jason Flint (Abbotsford, BC) took a ball across the front of the Calgary net. Flint could have taken the shot, but instead he placed the ball over to the right side to teammate Brian Scrivens (Langley, BC). Scrivens took the pass and slotted it into the open side of the net.

Forward Drew Roddy (Orono, MN) made it 3-0 for the Spartans at the 22nd minute of the second half. Roddy headed Brian Scrivens' corner kick past Urbanczyk and into the back of the net.

Brian Scrivens made it 4-0 on a PK in the 85th minute. The goal came against Calgary keeper Brian McDonnell (Calgary, AB), as Urbanczyk, the Dinos starting keeper was given a red card on a foul in the box on the previous play.

In extra time Drew Roddy finished the scoring with his second goal of the match to give the Spartans a 5-0 victory.

Next up for the Spartans is the University of Lethbridge on Saturday, October 2. Game time at TWU is set for 4:15 pm.
