ADRIAN, Mich. – The Olivet College men's soccer team closed the first half of its Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) schedule with a tough 2-1 loss against Adrian College today at Performance Stadium in Adrian.
The Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute. The score stayed 1-0 until seven minutes into the second half when junior captain Cole Dehen (Kentwood/East Kentwood) scored from close range after receiving a pass from freshman Esteban Russell (DeWitt). Adrian scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 64th minute when a shot from 20 yards glanced off the left post and into the net.
