Offense explodes as Quakers defeat Hanover

September 17, 2005
RICHMOND, Ind. — An offensive explosion by the Earlham College men’s soccer team opened the door for the Quakers 3-0 victory over Hanover College on Matlack Field.

Earlham broke the tie when Hanover’s goalkeeper got out of position and sophomore Chris Sloan (Bethesda, MD/Sidwell Friends) took advantage of the open net for the Quakers’ first goal at 78:17 in the second half. “The odd thing is that we’ve played better games, but today we won,” Earlham coach Roy Messer said. “I’ll take it. We’re starting to play better and get in the habit of success.”

Success happened quickly as first-year Victor Anciano (San Antonio-Altos, Venezuela/Armand Hammer) made it 2-0 with a goal at 79:54 with an assist from senior Atiq Zamani (Bloomington, IN/North).

Anciano added the final score of the contest at 89:39 on an assist from Earlham junior goalie Jon O’Neil (West Lafayette, IN/West Lafayette). O’Neil kicked the ball over the midfield stripe and Anciano allowed the ball to bounce before he played it and found the net. Earlham out shot Hanover as O’Neil had two saves.

The Quakers (1-5) visit Taylor University on Wednesday. The non-conference contest starts at 4 p.m. Box score
