Alma, Mich. - The Alma College men's soccer team topped Olivet College by a 2-1 margin on Wednesday (Oct. 11) at Scotland Yard as the Scots put together their first back-to-back wins of the season. The win also marked Alma's first win in front of a home crowd this season.

The Scots (2-5-2 overall, 2-8-3 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association) scored both of their goals in the first half, with sophomores Hebren Hein (Jackson, Mich./Jackson) and Tanner Parrett (Muskegon, Mich./Mona Shores) finding the net in the 10th and 15th minutes, respectively. Olivet scored in the 54th minute to cut the lead to one goal.

Justin Lavin made six saves in goal for the Comets (0-6-3, 1-10-3 MIAA) while sophomore Garrison Mast (Grand Haven, Mich./Grand Haven) stopped three shots, with all of his saves coming in the final 45 minutes.
