Elgin, Ill. – Fighting to keep their perfect record in the CCAC, the Judson University men’s soccer team tied Trinity Christian College (6-6-1/1-2-1), 1-1, in CCAC play. Judson is now 8-3-2 on the year and 4-0-1 in the CCAC.

TCC came right after Judson from the beginning and snagged a goal in the 16th minute when Ryan Clemens took a blocked kick into the box for the score and a 1-0 lead. JU could not net any of their goals in the first half as TCC’s goalie had three saves on JU’s six shots.

The second half brought more offensive opportunities for Judson as they shot five times with seven corner kicks. Junior Leonardo Silva finally broke the shutout in the 75th minute when he was on the receiving end of a breakaway from Gustavo Oliveira and Steve Moldenhauer. TCC had a chance to go ahead in the 2nd half in the 79th minute with an open shot to the net but the shot went left.

After regulation ended, both teams battled in overtimes but neither team could get the ball into the back of the net. TCC had three shots in the first overtime and JU took one in the second.

JU took 12 shots with seven on goal while TCC too 10 shots with eight on goal. JU’s goalie Neil Thompson finished with seven saves.

Judson will host Calumet in CCAC play on Saturday, October 6th, at 2:00 p.m. in Elgin.
