Men's Soccer Falls 3-0 at Conn College

Box Score

NEW LONDON, Conn. - Trevor Prophet tallied his first collegiate hat trick to lead the Connecticut College men's soccer team (6-2-1 overall) to a 3-0 shutout victory against Mitchell College (4-7 overall) on Tempel Green Wednesday.

Sophomore Oscar Brown chipped in with two assists for the hosts, who outshot the Mariners 22-6 in the win. Senior net-minder Alex Martland and Kyle Rosse combined on the shutout without recording a save for the Camels. Freshman Dan Valentine had eight stops in the setback for Mitchell.  

The Camels pounced on the Mariners in the opening minute of regulation. Adam Musoke booted a low cross from 20 yards out across the box and Prophet redirected the ball with a header that landed inside the right post. Later on in the 17th minute of action, the Camels penetrated the Mariner defense in another prime scoring opportunity. Prophet controlled a ball in front of the goal and fed Oscar Brown for a low shot that hooked just beyond the left post.

On the ensuing goal kick, the Mariners threatened with their best scoring chance of the day. Senior Alex Deltgen served a 25-yard cross near the end line that sailed all the way across the box to the far post. Howie Johnson elevated for a header but his shot trickled a foot wide of the goal.

The Camels doubled their lead with 17:22 remaining in the first stanza when Brown assisted Prophet for his second goal of the day. In the 65th minute of action, Prophet buried a header off a Brown cross to complete the hat trick and close out the scoring.

Mitchell will host Lesley University on Saturday, October 17 at 2:00 p.m.
