Box Score Oberlin, Ohio – Oberlin men's soccer couldn't contain the high-powered attack of the #6 Lords of Kenyon College as they dealt the Yeomen a 3-0 loss on Senior Day from Fred Shults Field.
With winds reaching 20 MPH, and light sprinkles of rain turning to snow flurries early in the first half, the weather made the pitch slick and difficult to manage for both sides.
The Lords drew first blood in the 17
th minute on a spectacular volley from Kenyon's leader scorer, Tony Amolo. Amolo fired a headed pass out of the air, past senior keeper
Oidie Kuijpers. Kuijpers finished with eight saves and was pressured by the Kenyon front line all afternoon.
The Lords' Alex Christoff tacked on the second Kenyon goal in the 34
th minute before an Oberlin own goal moved the Lords ahead, 3-0 heading into the half.
Kenyon played smothering defense in the second half, containing the Yeomen to three shots in the second frame.
Offensively, the Oberlin men were led by
John Ingham and
Slade Gottlieb who each tallied two shots, one on goal.
Nick Wertman,
Timothy Williams,
Adam Chazin-Gray and senior
Dylan Tencic each collected a shot against the Lords.
With the loss, the Yeomen bring the 2014 campaign to a close at 5-10-2 overall, 2-6-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference.
