Houghton Slides Past Tiffin
1-0
Box Score
Houghton,
N.Y. – The
typical Houghton winter showed it’s first signs as Houghton beat Tiffin
University 1-0 today. The majority of the game was played in the middle of the
field with aggression from both teams.
The
only goal of the game came in the 16th minute when
Jr. Josiah Snelgrove (Hartland, New Brunswick)
crossed the ball to the middle of the eighteen yard box where
So. Josh Gottron (Rome, OH) raced the
Tiffin goalkeeper to the ball and tipped it past him for the goal.
So. Erik Lefebvre
(Ottawa, ON)
earned
his 4th shut out of the season making five saves in the wet and windy
conditions.
The
Highlanders are now 4-7-2 for the season and 2-0-1 in the AMC North Conference.
The Highlanders look to continue their two game win streak on Tuesday when they
contest AMC North Conference rival Roberts Wesleyan College at 7:00 PM on Burke
Field.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
