Game Recap: Men's Soccer |

Tigers prevail over the Cardinals, 4-1

Wyoming, MI – After surrendering the first goal of the match late in the first half Tuesday evening, the Grace men's soccer team stormed back to score the next 4 goals and secure a 4-1 home victory over Andrews University.

Junior Franklin Rodriguez-Arias was pivotal off the bench, scoring the equalizer with 9 seconds left in the first half and putting the exclamation point on the win with a spectacular goal late in the game off of a header on a beautiful feed from senior Nick Pilieci.

Freshman Kendall Nieuwenhuis used a pass from senior Jorge Leon to punch in a goal and take the lead in the second half, and Leon joined in on the fun with the third goal for the Tigers.  Freshman Drew Steensma and the Tigers defense played well against the talented Andrews attack, Steensma finishing with 8 saves on the game.

The Tigers return to the field next Friday against Finlandia University at home at 3:30 pm on Homecoming Weekend.

Post-game interviews with Rodriguez-Arias and Head Coach Dustin Buchanan can be seen in the video below, along with highlights from the game.
