Spartans Upend TC3 on the Road

The Spartan's men soccer team has improved its Region III record to 8-3 (8-4 overall) with a 3-2 win on the road at Tompkins-Cortland Community College. Paul Coyle (Glagow, Scotland) put the Spartans up 1-0 in the 4th minute, assisted by Chris Davison (Newcastle, England). The Panthers responded quick a minute later, when a corner kick cross from Nelson Pelton, found Daniel Lincoln into the box, tying the game at one. The Spartans continued to take the game to the hosts, and were able to find the net again in the 7th minute, with a similar goal by Coyle, assisted again by Davison, and then scoring a third in the 19th minute this time by Davison, assisted by Chris Barrie (Glaston, Scotland). With only 2 minutes left into the first half TC3 was able to score a second goal by Curtis Grant, assisted by Nelson Pelton, closing in the half at 3-2 for the visitors.

The Spartans dominated possession much of the second half and created a lot of goal scoring chances, with the home side trying to find breakaways through counterattacks, but the end score remained the same with neither team finding the back of the net in the second half.

Next for the Spartans is a home game against Adirondack Community Colle at home, Saturday, October 17 at 3PM.
