Olivet, MI - At the Cutler Athletic Complex in Olivet, Michigan, the host Comets pulled out a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester on Wednesday evening.

Manchester matched Olivet in stretches of play and showed resilience on both ends of the field. Goalkeeper Will Martin anchored the Spartans' defense with nine saves, keeping his side in contention throughout the match. Offensively, Manchester created 13 shots, with Edwin Rodriguez leading the attack by registering five attempts, two of which were on target. Additional contributions came from Cole Spagna and Hayden Ettner, who each challenged Olivet's keeper. Despite their opportunities—including late efforts from Alan Galvez and Bradley Beliard—the Spartans were unable to capitalize. Manchester's final push in the closing minutes fell short, leaving the visitors scoreless.

With the loss, Manchester drops to 0-4-3 on the season, while Olivet improves to 1-2-1. For the Spartans, the performance offered positives in defensive organization and shot creation, though the search for a breakthrough goal continues. The Spartans will look to bounce back as they host Ohio Christian this Saturday at Good FIeld, 4:00 PM start.
