Centre scored three 1st half goals and added a fourth in the 2nd half, with Chris Jackson (Oxford, OH) picking up his sixth shutout in seven games in the net.

College on Friday. Lutz, who now is tied for the team lead with a
pair of game-winning goals, has scored three times in two games
after moving forward from his defender position. It marked the
first multiple-goal game of his career. Junior goalkeeper Forrest
Marowitz finished with three saves and got a huge block from
freshman defender Andrew Worthington a little more than five
minutes into the game. Colorado College enjoyed a decisive
statistical and territorial advantage against Oglethorpe on Sunday,
but the inability to put the ball in an open net resulted in a 2-1

the 68th minute, but OU scored on a direct kick 2:28 into the extra
session. The Tigers finished with a 24-15 advantage in total shots

the Southwestern Pirates and the Trinity Tigers. In a game that saw

the Southwestern Pirates on Friday night, 2-0 thanks to two goals
in the second half. The Majors came back that Sunday to take on
Trinity. Millsaps hung tough with the nationally ranked Trinity
Tigers, but in the end, the Tigers proved to be too much as they
knocked off Millsaps 5-0 on Sunday afternoon.
The Petrels continued winning games at a record setting pace for
head coach Jon Akin this past weekend as
Oglethorpe picked up two more SCAC wins over
Hendrix (W, 2-0) and Colorado College (W, 2-1 OT), both road
triumphs. Against Hendrix on Friday, Division I transfers Mark
Lavery (Kentucky) and Sean King (Presbyterian) hooked up to get the
Petrels on the board just six minutes into the game when Lavery
found King for the tally. The two squads then battled back and
forth, Hendrix mustering 12 first half shots to Oglethorpe's 10,
but keeper Frank Petersen denied all seven attempts on target in an
outstanding effort. The Petrels tilted play further in their
direction in the second half, earning 9 shots to the Warriors 8 and
only allowing two on target, both of which Petersen handled.
Oglethorpe put the contest out of reach in the 80th minute when
freshman Austin Fiddler scored his second goal of the season on an
assist from sophomore Dustin Hoeppner. Against Colorado on Sunday,
The Petrels clinched their seventh straight win when Ben Robertson
cracked home the game-winner just two minutes into OT on a free
kick from 30 yards out. The game remained scoreless for the first
65 minutes until Nick Williamson took a pass from Harrison
McConnell and converted it to gold to give Oglethorpe a 1-0
advantage. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Tigers
equalized exactly two minutes later in the 67th minute on a strike
from Daniel Wright. The squads battled back and forth but neither
could jump ahead before the regulation clock expired. Then, at the
2:38 mark of overtime, Sean King was fouled at the top of the box,
30 yards out, to set up Robertson's free kick heroics. The Tigers
fired 24 shots in the contest but only six were on target. The
Petrels, meanwhile, cracked 15 shots and put 10 on target to notch
their seventh straight overall and fourth consecutive conference
win. At 10-2, the Petrels are officially off to their best start in
school history with an .833 winning percentage through 12 games.

longest winning streak (8) in school history.

Going on the road for the first time in conference action
Sewanee split a pair on matches at Dallas and
Austin. The Tigers defeated Dallas 2-1 Friday night, with goals
from forward Matt Lightfoot and defender Solly Thomas. Two days

The Southwestern offense continues to impress as
the Pirates went 2-0 in conference action this week to move to
6-5-1 on the year and 3-1 in the SCAC. On Friday night the Pirates
played the first-ever game under the lights at Southwestern's
field. After a scoreless first half the Pirates took advantage of
two fouls to defeat Millsaps College 2-0. A foul in the box on a
corner handed the Pirates a penalty kick. Matthew Nickell calmly
approached the ball and put it away to the left of the diving
keeper to give SU a 1-0 lead. Perkins scored the second goal for
Southwestern after being fouled on a breakaway just outside of the
box. Two shots off the free kick were saved by the Majors' defense,
but Perkins put it away and out of reach for Millsaps with the put
back. After much needed rain in Central Texas Southwestern scored
in the 7th minute to take an early lead on Rhodes and took the 1-0
through halftime. Rhodes tied the game just six minutes into the
second half, but Perkins added two more goals less than a minute
apart to give SU the 3-1 lead. The Pirates head to San Antonio on
Friday night to face Trinity beginning at 8pm.
#5 Trinity swept a pair of SCAC games at home over the
weekend, defeating Rhodes 10-3 on Friday, then dispatching Millsaps
5-0 on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers had 10 different players score
