Spartans Get Back on Track with Road Win at Defiance

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Manchester University men's soccer team got back into the win column on Wednesday afternoon following a 3-0 road victory at Defiance College.

The Black & Gold pounced on the host Yellow Jackets, scoring all three goals of the match in the opening 12 minutes.

Sophomore Harley Kruschwitz (Manchester, Ind./North Manchester) ignited the blitz, tallying his second hat trick of the season. Kruschwitz also netted a hat trick earlier this fall against Olivet College back on September 18. Harley scored goals in the 2nd, 10th, and 12th minutes against Defiance and now has 11 goals on the season.

Fellow sophomore Chris Gerken (Huntertown, Ind./Carroll) collected an assist on the second Kruschwitz goal.

Manchester held a 14-11 advantage on shots taken in Wednesday's game. Spartan goalkeeper Aidan Brunkow (Indianapolis, Ind./Heritage Christian) kept a clean sheet while making four saves.

Manchester now stands 5-5-1, 2-1 HCAC on the season. The Black & Gold will travel to Hanover College on Saturday October 9 for a 3:30 p.m. meeting with the Panthers.

Defiance dropped to 7-7, 2-1 HCAC following the loss.
