Box Score
ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Oakland frontline set the tone early with a first-half goal, while its defense held the Mastodon offense in check Saturday evening, as the IPFW men's soccer team drops its first Summit League match this season, 1-0 in Rochester, Mich.
IPFW falls to 6-7-1 overall in 2011, remaining above .500 in conference play at 2-1-0. The loss snaps a three-game winning streak, dating back to Sept. 30. Oakland wins its first conference game and improves to 3-9-1 (1-2-0) this fall.
In the hotly contested game, the teams battled for shots in the opening period, combining for five attempts in the first 20 minutes of play.
In the 30th minute, Oakland netted the would-be game-winning goal when Andrew Barrett scored off a floater from 30 yards out, moving the Grizzlies in front, 1-0. The home team took the one-score advantage into halftime.
IPFW came out aggressive in the second half, tagging two quick shots in the period's first four minutes. Alex Stronczek and Jason Mills each blasted an attempt that just missed wide of net.
The Mastodons continued to push the tempo throughout the half, and nearly tied up the contest in the 70th minute when Max Touloute fired an attempt that was saved by Oakland goalkeeper Mitch Hildebrandt.
Although the Mastodon frontline had chances to extend game into overtime with late shot attempts, Hildebrandt secured the Oakland shutout with three saves.
IPFW managed 12 shots on Saturday, while Oakland blasted 14. Touloute fired a game-high eight shots in the contest. Mastodon goalkeeper Brandon Cloutier came away with two saves.
The Mastodons will remain on the road for their next match against Valparaiso on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Match time is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EST.
