Beavers Drop Tough Match to First Place Westminster

Beavers Drop Tough Match to First Place Westminster

The Blackburn College Men's Soccer Team faced off against the first place Westminster College Bluejays on a sunny but blustery Saturday afternoon in Carlinville.

The match looked like it would be scoreless at halftime, but with eleven seconds in the first half, Blackburn was called for a foul in the box which led to a Tripp Shehan penalty kick goal to give the Bluejays the 1-0 halftime lead.

The match stayed right there until late in the 88th minute when Drew Cook scored on a goal to give the Bluejays the 2-0 lead and that's how the match finished.  Westminster out-shot the Beavers 29-4 on the afternoon and Blackburn goalkeeper Jourdin Greene was credited with seven saves.

Blackburn is now 5-8-2 on the season.
