Box Score OWINGS MILL, Md. – Chase TenBrook netted a pair of scores to lead the No. 8 Franklin & Marshall men's soccer team to a 3-1 defeat of Stevenson on Tuesday evening in non-conference action.
The Diplomats improved to 7-0-1 with the victory, while the Mustangs fell to 8-3.
TenBrook went to work just eight minutes into the first half, taking a feed from Janse Schermerhorn in the center of the field and sending a header into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead.
F&M's offense was dynamic in the opening frame, outshooting Stevenson by a 12-1 tally but was unable to capitalize on any more chances before the break.
In the second, TenBrook lit the scoreboard once again off an assist from Schermerhorn to give the Diplomats a 2-0 lead in the 58th minute. The tally was his fourth of the season.
Just four minutes later, Sam Lane scored from a shot at the top of the box to put F&M comfortably out in front at 3-0. The Mustangs finally found the back of the net in the 77th minute to pull within two, however the deficit proved too large to overcome as time ran out on Stevenson.
The Diplomats led on shots at 17-5 and corners at 7-2. TenBrook recorded five shots on the evening, followed by three from Chris Scott.
Trevor Britton (7-0-1) earned the victory, while his counterpart Ryan Callinan (7-3) was charged the loss after a nine-save effort.
F&M returns to the pitch on Saturday when the Diplomats host Washington at 6:00 p.m.
