SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Whitman College men's soccer team held a one-goal lead at halftime, but gave up three second half goals en route to a 3-1 loss at Trinity on Sunday at Paul McGinlay Field.
The Blues (0-3-1) looked sharp in the first 45 as Edwin Romero scored on an assist from Sawyer Valero in the 21st minute. The goal stood as the lone one in the first half.
Trinity scored the equalizer early in the second half as Pieter Blank netted a goal in the 49th minute. The Tigers then took their first lead less than five minutes later when Pablo Gonzalez, Jr. committed a foul in the penalty box. Hunter Cain scored the ensuing penalty kick to put Trinity up.
The Tigers scored an insurance goal late in the contest to secure the win.
The Blues kick off the Northwest Conference season on the road next weekend with matches at Puget Sound (Sept. 16) and Pacific Lutheran (Sept. 17).
