Transylvania topped the Anderson University men's soccer team in a 4-0 victory during Tuesday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup at Macholtz Stadium.
"As I am disappointed with how we finished the last 15 minutes, I feel blessed that we got to play and get back to the field after such a long layoff," Coach Scott Fridley said. "I thought the boys played hard and gave what they had. A lot of respect to Coach Matt Vogel and his team; they finished the match well."
The Pioneers (1-0, 1-0) outshot the Ravens (0-1, 0-1) by a 29-7 margin and held an 11-3 advantage in shots on goal.
Regan Frost (Yorktown, Ind./Yorktown) provided a team-high three shots. Malik Gayler (Crawfordsville, Ind./Southport), Drew Vaughn (Beavercreek, Ohio/Beavercreek) and Iley McQuiddey (West Chester, Ohio/Cincinnati Christian) each registered shots on goal while Stephen Fite (Cincinnati, Ohio/Homeschool) added a shot.
"I thought it was a good start for a few of our freshmen. Iley Mcquiddy, Drew Vaughn, and Victor Silva each had a good debut."
Caleb Oliver (Marion, Ind./Marion) saved seven of the 10 shots he faced.
The Ravens take on Hanover College (1-0, 1-0) in HCAC action on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Macholtz Stadium.
"We will be ok; I hope we can sort a few things out for Saturday. This is a good team and I look forward to their next nine games. Again, we are blessed we are playing. We will continue to get better."
