Box Score NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – One look at Manchester University's 2015 season statistics shows plenty of balance.
Seven Spartans have deposited a goal in the program's first five matches with four of them adding their name to the list in a 4-2 win over Adrian College of Michigan Saturday, Sept. 12. The victory concluded MU's portion of the Raven-Spartan Classic, co-hosted with Anderson University, at .500.
The trio of senior defender Julio Luevano (Aguascalientes, Mexico), freshman midfielder/forward Ben Niederhelman (Ross, Ohio), and junior defender Chase Holford (Valparaiso, Ind.) each scored goals in the opening 25 minutes which were part of a combined five first half tallies on the Spartan Soccer Field scoreboard. With the outcome still at stake in the second half, junior forward Luc Revounel (Strasbourg, France) took a pass from junior midfielder Simon Coleman (Toledo, Ohio) and hit it into the Bulldogs' net for a key insurance strike in the 77th minute that sealed the decision.
Manchester University's scoring production came behind 11 shot attempts. Junior forward Ola Ladapo (London, England) topped the category with four tries, while Niederhelman was second (three). Luevano closed the afternoon leading the points' column (three), as he also contributed an assist.
The Black and Gold (1-3-1) resume their non-conference schedule with a trip to Huntington University for a 5 p.m. kickoff Wednesday, Sept. 16.
