Box Score
SOMERVILLE -- The Tufts University Jumbos dropped their fifth
one-goal contest of the season, 1-0, to the #15 Trinity College
Bantams in NESCAC men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon at
Kraft Field.
The Bantams scored early, just 5:54 into the first half, when
junior Peter Marlette (Buffalo, NY) delivered a centering pass from
the right side to first-year Anthony El-Hachem (Vernon, CT).
El-Hachem put it by Tufts senior keeper Pat Tonelli
(Andover, MA) for the 1-0 Trinity advantage.
Tufts managed four shots in the first half, but no shot was on
goal. Tonelli would make two saves in the half as the Bantams put
seven shots towards the goal.
The intensity picked up in the second half with Tufts
aggressively trying to even the score. They were able to put four
shots on goal in the half, but Trinity sophomore keeper Grant
Schonberg (Mendham, NJ) made all four saves.
Each side picked up a yellow card in the second half and there
were a combined 13 fouls in the half as well. The Bantams outshot
the Jumbos 16-10 for the match with eight on goal. Tonelli ended
with seven saves in the full 90 minutes of action. His counterpart
Schonberg went the distance as well with the four second-half
saves.
The Jumbos remain winless in conference play this season,
falling to 0-5-1 in the league and 2-7-2 overall. The
nationally-ranked Bantams, who entered play in second place in the
league, are 5-1-1 and 9-1-1 overall.
Tufts returns to action on Tuesday evening against conference
foe Connecticut College in their final home match scheduled for
7:00 pm. Trinity travels to Springfield tomorrow for a 2:00 pm
start.
