The Trojans came out of the gates strong against a deep-benched Oregon State University, racking up 6 goals in the first quarter. After their offense stalled in the second quarter, the men in cardinal and gold found themselves plagued by penalties the rest of the game and unable to produce, despite multiple shot opportunities.
Leading the scoring was returning, starting midfielder Matt Williams (Chapel Hill, NC / Durham Academy) with 3 goals. Attackmen John Duddridge (Santa Ana, CA / Foothill) and Jordan Levitz (Chicago, IL / Stevenson) both contributed 2 goals, while attackman Avery Brovick (San Diego, CA / Francis Parker) and middies Will Purvis (Coronado, CA / Coronado) and Kase Lawal (Houston, TX / Kinkaid) all put one in.
Starting goalie, Jeff Barton (Englewood, CO / Cherry Creek), played a solid game with 13 saves and 12 clears, but with 8 1/2 penalty minutes against the Trojans, they found themselves on defense too much which resulted in an OSU Beavers 12-10 win.
