RICHMOND, Ind. — Saturday was about Earlham College men’s soccer coach Roy Messer as he celebrated the end of his 25th season with the Quakers as part of the Homecoming weekend.

Unfortunately for the Quakers, North Coast Athletic Conference foe Oberlin College spoiled the party with a 1-0 win over the Quakers on Matlack Field claiming the Freedom Trophy.

Awarded to the winning team, the Freedom Trophy was established by the members of the 1954 men’s soccer team that was inducted into the Earlham Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 28.

Oberlin scored at 17:41 in the first half for the only score of the contest. Earlham was out shot 12-11, but had six shots on goal compared to Oberlin’s four. Junior goalkeeper Jon O’Neil (West Lafayette, IN/West Lafayette) had three saves.

Earlham finishes its season at 4-12-2 overall and 1-6-1 in the conference. Box score
