The Thunder struck once in the opening 15 minutes to take a lead, and once more in the opening minutes of the second half to distance themselves. Alma tried to fight it's way back into the game, and came inches from scoring on a handful of occasions, but were unable to capitalize. In the end Trine held off a furious Alma push to take the contest. Ethan Swartzentruber and Jakc Lockerbie each registered 3 shots to lead Alma's offensive efforts.
Alma was outshot 17-8 on the day, with Chris Henry making 7 saves on 9 shots faced in goal. Henry currently ranks 19th nationally in saves per game, and 16th nationally in total saves made.
Head Coach John Greer had the following to say about his seniors, "This is a group that has been focused on leaving the program in a better place. The untrained eye will look only at results and fail to see all the things these guys do behind the scenes to lay a base that is going to serve as a launching pad for the program."
The Scots will be back in action on Tuesday, as they close out their season at Hope College with kickoff set for 7 PM.
