Trinity Blanks Hendrix Friday Night

San Antonio - The Tiger men's soccer team handed Hendrix College a 7-0 defeat to open up a weekend of Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play on Friday evening.

Trinity (10-0-0, 2-0-0) led 3-0 at halftime, adding four more goals in the final period.  The Tigers, ranked No. 1 in the nation, recorded their fifth shutout of the season.

Patrick Floeck scored a pair of goals for Trinity on Friday, including the eventual game-winning goal in the 24th minute of action.  Floeck scored the opening goal in each period of tonight's game.  Ben Stewart assisted on the first goal, while Robert C'deBaca assisted on the second.

Matt Beham scored in the 28th minute to make it 2-0 Trinity on a corner from German Gomez.  All-American Tyrone Petrakis then capped the first period scoring with a goal in the 35th minute, assisted by Cameron Hogsett.

After Floeck's second goal, Gomez made it 5-0 in favor of the Tigers, and Ben Grossman's 71st minute score pushed the lead to six.  Joseph DeCosta and Andrew Chong earned assists on the two goals.

Andres Aceves finished off the day's scoring by converting a penalty kick in the 83rd minute of play.

Four Tiger keepers combined for the shutout, with David Steinberg going the first 45 minutes of action.  Patrick Johnson, Casey Kay, and Joe Benefield also saw action in net for the Tigers.

Trinity will host Rhodes College at noon on Sunday, which is a game time change from the original schedule.
