The Alma College Men's Soccer team hosted Trine University on Saturday afternoon for Homecoming 2011 at Scotland Yard. Under cool and blustery conditions, the Scots dropped a 3-0 decision to the Thunder to fall to 5-8-1 in 2011 and 2-6-1 in the league. Trine is now 10-2-2 overall and improved to 6-2-1 in the MIAA.

Trine scored early and late in this contest, notching the lone first half tally at 9:30, when Andre Hilson scored on an assist from Foster Webb for a 1-0 halftime advantage. The score remained that way until 87:58, when Hilson scored his second goal of the game on a helper from Karston Shephard. The Thunder concluded the scoring less than two minutes later, when Webb knocked in a pass from Hilson at 89:34 for the final 3-0 margin of victory.
