ELMA, N.Y.  – The Hilbert Men's Soccer team took on Elmira College today and lost by a score of 4-0. It was a hard fought game from start to finish playing on the turf at Sahlen's Sports Park.

THE BASICS

• Final Score:  Elmira 4  |  Hilbert 0
• Location:  Flash Field  | Sahlen's Sports Park
• Records:   Hilbert 3-4-2  I  Elmira 6-2-1

HOW IT HAPPENED  

• Due to the rain earlier in the week, Hilbert moved the game to a neutral site in order to get the non-conference contest in the books. 
• The turf was wet but fast and so was the speed of the game.  Both team passed the ball well, but Elmira built a 2-goal lead by intermission.
• The Soaring Eagles connected in the 8th and 12th minute as the Hawks' defense elevated their efforts to the break.
• Hilbert played even with Elmira, but a trip in the box led to a PK goal in the 71st minute and distracted the Hawks for a minute.  Elmira padded their lead 100-seconds later and took the shutout victory.

GAME NOTES

• Hilbert stayed with Elmira in the first half, credited with four shots to the Soaring Eagles eight.
• The Hawks were outshot throughout the contest which led to them having a deficit in corner kicks and scoring opportunities.
• Logan Peck made six saves but faced multiple 1 v 1 looks in the second half.
• Carter Burke and Beckham Blair each took two shots today.
