Jordan Reese made sure nothing spoiled homecoming and a pre-game ceremony honoring head coach Horst Richardson’s 500th career victory. Reese posted a career-high eight points with two goals and two assists to lead Colorado College to a 4-0 victory over Austin College on the frozen tundra of CC’s Stewart Field on Saturday afternoon. Reese tallied what proved to be the sixth game-winning goal of his career 12:58 into the first half when he sent a direct kick into the top left corner from 20 yards out. He completed the first multi-goal game of his career just over 15 minutes later when he converted off a pass from senior midfielder Ben Hancock. Senior forward Brendan Douglas extended CC’s lead to 3-0 in the 39th minute, one-timing a crossing pass from Reese from 20 yards out on the left side that went inside the far post. Matt Fechter completed the scoring with just under 20 minutes remaining when he found the net with a header off of a Reese corner kick. It was the fourth multi-assist game of Reese’s career. Reese took over the team scoring lead with 15 points. Senior goalkeeper Brian Engle had to make only two saves while posting his third shutout of the season and the ninth of his career. Colorado College will play host to Sewanee and Oglethorpe University next Friday and Sunday, respectively.

DePauw split their weekend games with a 2-0 loss to Hendrix on Friday and a 3-2 win at Rhodes on Sunday. The Tigers outshot the Warriors, 10-9, but Hendrix scored with just 19 seconds left in the half and then on a second-half penalty kick. In the win at Rhodes the teams exchanged goals before Brad Kean delivered the game-winner on Beau Sorg's assist at 56:01. Sorg finished the day with two goals and one assist. DePauw is 7-3-1 overall and 4-2 in SCAC play and travels to Southwestern and Trinity this weekend.

Hendrix went 2-0-1 on the week with a non-conference win over Williams Baptist College on Monday night, before picking up a pair of big decisions in SCAC action over the weekend. The Warriors took down DePauw, 2-0, on Friday night and then tied Centre, 1-1, on Sunday afternoon. Hendrix now stands at 7-5-1 overall and 2-1-1 in conference play. Head coach Doug Mello has now accumulated 398 career-wins as a men’s coach and will look for number 399 when they host Sewanee on Oct. 23. Warriors’ sophomore forward Duncan Keegan scored a hat trick to lead his team to a 7-1 win over Williams Baptist Monday night. The Warriors then picked up their first ever win over DePauw on Friday after a brilliant goal from Keegan and a penalty kick from senior defender Thomas Robins. Hendrix first year Dylan Reed scored his team’s lone goal in what was a very aggressive match against Centre on Sunday. A batch of cautions were handed out between the two teams, including a red card on Hendrix senior captain Will Brown in the 59th minute. The Warriors held strong and denied Centre of a game winner, despite playing a man down for 50 minutes.

Millsaps split a conference weekend at home this past weekend to move to 7-6 overall and 2-4 in league play, topping Southwestern 3-2 behind a pair of goals from freshman Daniel Moise, and falling in a heartbreaker to No. 8 Trinity University in double overtime, 3-2.

Oglethorpe split two non-conference matches this past week, falling at home to Emory 3-1 and winning on the road at LaGrange, 5-1. The Petrels got a direct kick goal from sophomore Nathan Post to take Emory into a 1-1 tie at the conclusion of the first half of that match. The Eagles, however, managed to find the back of the net twice in the game’s final 9 minutes to secure the 3-1 win. Against LaGrange, Oglethorpe recorded five assisted goals on strikes from Nathan Post, Nick Harris, Justin Graves, Ben Robertson and Evan Britton.

Rhodes played their first game of the weekend Friday night in the stadium at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, but they were unable to hold off the Colonels of Centre College (10-3-2). Centre started the scoring off fairly early, and the players went into half time with a score of Centre 1, Rhodes 0. The second half looked promising for the Lynx, but a second goal for the Colonels early in the second half made it difficult for the men to fight back. The final score was 3-1, with Michael Pappas scoring a late goal on a pass from Logan Eberly to put the Cats on the board. Justin Stradley played all 90 minutes in net for Rhodes, tallying 3 saves. On Sunday, the men were back on their home field to play DePauw University (7-4-1). Both teams played very well, and Rhodes was putting a lot of pressure on the Tigers' defense. Zac Berry started off the scoring with an assist from Eric Stradley to take an early 1-0 lead, but Beau Sorg responded just minutes later to tie the game at 1. Just before halftime, Petar Radujkovic put away a ball from Jim Thompson to go up a goal, but they were unable to hold onto the 2-1 halftime lead. Two quick goals by DePauw in the early part of the second half proved to be just enough to overtake the Lynx, and the final score was 3-2 DePauw. William Lay played all 90 minutes in net for the Lynx, coming up with some huge saves to keep the men in the game

Sewanee played at Maryville Saturday afternoon and fell to the Scots of Maryville 2-0. The Scots scored both goals in the second period after a defensive, scoreless first. Maryville outshot Sewanee 21-8 and took seven corner kicks compared to four for Sewanee. In goal, Freddie Delchamps (Helena, Ala., Indian Springs) had 15 saves on the day for Sewanee. Matt Lightfoot (Germantown, Tenn., Germantown) took a pair of shots to lead Sewanee, but none found its mark. Sewanee is now 7-4 and is still unbeaten in SCAC play at 3-0. The Tigers will play SCAC matches at Colorado College and Austin College in Colorado and Texas next weekend.

Southwestern dropped two games this weekend to fall to 5-6 on the season and 1-2 in conference action. Friday, senior Josh Spencer scored two goals but they weren’t enough to boost SU past Millsaps. Sunday, SU jumped out to an early lead and maintained it through the first half due to 10 saves by sophomore keeper Nick Pierce, but BSC scored two goals midway through the second half to take the 2-1 win. Southwestern out-shot its opponents 47-23 over the weekend. The Pirates will return to action at home on Friday against DePauw and then face Centre on Sunday.

No. 12 Trinity finished 1-0-1 over the past week, playing in a pair of overtime road games against SCAC opponents. The Tigers opened the weekend with a 1-1 double-overtime tie against Birmingham-Southern College, giving up the lead in the 81st minute of play. It was Trinity that was trailing late in the game on Sunday, needing a goal in the 88th minute to tie things up and force overtime. Just under three minutes into the second overtime period at Millsaps, the Tigers scored to pull off the victory. Ben Grossman scored late in regulation to send the game into extra periods, while Alan Castillejos throw-in led to the game-winning goal by Alan Llobet. Trinity will host Centre and DePauw for a weekend of SCAC action in San Antonio. The Tigers scored three unanswered goals to defeat Centre 3-2 in Danville, Kentucky, last season. Trinity and DePauw tied in a double-overtime game that saw DePauw tie the game as time ran out in regulation.
