OLIVET, MICH. – The Trine women's soccer team was defeated by Olivet College by 3-0.
Once again the Thunder's defense started the game strong, keeping the Comets' offense largely in check during the first part of the game. In the 28th minute however, two members of Olivet's offense made it behind the defense and put a shot past senior goalkeeper Kristina Veljovic (Valparaiso/Valparaiso) for the first goal of the game.
The defense fell back into place keeping Trine just one goal behind until after half time. But two Olivet goals in the 51st and 59th minute of the match, put a win out of reach.
Sophomore Marisa Robinett (Auburn/DeKalb) once again led the team with three shots on goal. Fellow sophomore Kristen Reece added a shot on goal of her own.
The Thunder next compete in a home match against Kalamazoo College on Sunday, Sept. 17, at 12:00 p.m.
