ANGOLA, Ind. – The Trine University men's soccer team is hosting a first-round match of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Tournament on Saturday, October 29. The Thunder will kick-off against Olivet College at 12 pm on Shive Field in Zollner Stadium.
All those wishing to attend must purchase a ticket online through the MIAA's Ticketing Portal. Trine University strongly suggests purchasing your tickets ahead of the game and bringing either a digital or print copy of your ticket to the gate.
Trine enters the MIAA Tournament as the number three seed with a conference record of 3-2-2. Olivet was the final team to qualify for the postseason at 1-3-3 in MIAA action. The two teams previously met on October 11, where the Thunder defeated the Comets by a score of 3-1. Junior Tyler Murphy had a pair of goals in the match and broke Trine's NCAA DIII era scoring record in the process. The Thunder have won six consecutive matches outright against the Olivet dating back to 2017.
Last season, Trine was named the MIAA Tournament champions and secured the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. The Thunder pitched shutouts in all three tournament matches en route to a postseason title.
