Photos Box Score

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The No. 18 Olivet Nazarene University men's soccer team ran away to a 7-0 victory over the Trolls of Trinity Christian Wednesday night at Snowbarger Athletic Complex. Max Jasper highlighted the evening with his first hat trick of the season while freshman Luca Swinton scored his first career goal as a member of the Tigers.


Olivet took control of the game straight from the kick-off registering the first three shots of the match including an attempt from Jasper that ricocheted off the top-corner crossbar. The breakthrough came in the 13th minute as Justin Eisenmann played a centering pass to Jasper for an easy finish. Eisenmann found the back of the net 12 minutes later as Fabio Hasler cut a ball back to the top of the box for the forward to curl in a goal. Jasper scored his second of the night at the 32:11-mark only for Nick Kilian to score the Tiger's fourth goal of the match 28 seconds later. With three minutes left in the first half, Eisenmann scored his second of the evening.

As time wound down, Swinton was afforded an opportunity with a free kick in the 87th minute.
