ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College men's soccer team win streak now stands at three as they defeated Hope College on Friday 1-0. The Bulldogs record now stand at 4-6 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA.

With the win, Adrian now sits atop the MIAA standings with nine points. Hope, the fourth ranked team by the NSCAA in the Central Region, was denied several chances throughout the game. The Bulldogs were able to keep the Flying Dutchmen, the second highest scoring team in the conference, in check by a stingy defense and goalkeeper Alex Pavlika. Pavlika made five saves on the night, while the defense aided in denying the Flying Dutchmen's other 14 shots.

The lone goal of the game came off the foot of sophomore Billy Cremeans in the 33^rd minute. Freshman Morgan Copeland made a crossing pass from outside the box to the far right post and Cremeans slipped it past the right side of the Hope goalie from about five yards out for the score. With the goal, Cremeans has now scored in three consecutive games. Cremeans goal was the only Adrian shot on goal, but it was all they needed to get the win.

The Bulldogs will next play when they travel to Kalamazoo on Wednesday, October 6 at 4:00 pm.
