Trinity 11, Bates 9

The Bobcats (1-1), playing their first game of the season in New England, dropped an 11-9 decision to Trinity (1-0) at Springfield College. The teams traded goals in the first quarter as sophomore attackman Mike D'Addario (Locust Valley, N.Y.) scored three of his team-high four goals in the period, but the teams finished the first fifteen minutes of the game tied at five. The Bantams took control of the game in the second quarter, outscoring Bates 5-1 to take a 10-6 lead into the half. The Bobcat defense was outstanding in the second half, allowing just one Trinity goal. D'Addario and sophomore midfielder Kevin Purviance (Glastonbury, Conn.) each scored in the third to cut the lead to two with 32 seconds remaining in the third, but the Bobcats would get no closer. Sophomore goalkeeper Dirk Huntington (Falls Church, Va.) played the second half and kept the game within striking distance with 11 saves, while senior midfielder Jay Lively (No. Falmouth, Mass.) led all players with six points on one goal and five assists.
