SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 17, 2005-- Springfield College senior goalkeeper David Minkoff (Oceanside, N.J.) recorded five saves, but it was not enough as the Pride fell to Wheaton College, 3-0, in New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play tonight (Sept. 17) at Springfield College.

Wheaton (3-2, 1-0) tallied two goals in the first half at 20:09 and 34:02 despite tough defense from the Pride (0-5, 0-1). In the second half, Wheaton added a late goal, in the 77th minute of action for the 3-0 victory. Both teams were very aggressive to the ball and despite several chances for the Pride, it could not capitalize.

SC plays host to the Mass. College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 7:00 p.m.
