Capital 4, Muskingum 1 [Box Score]
(NEW CONCORD, Ohio)—Capital University's men's soccer team won their ninth game of the year Sunday, defeating Muskingum College 4-1 in an Ohio Athletic Conference game in New Concord, Ohio.

Capital is now 9-3-1 on year, 2-1 in the OAC. Muskingum is now 6-6-1, 1-2 in the OAC.

Senior forward Dan Albeit (Bexley/Bexley) and freshman forward Joey Snyder (Columbus/Thomas Worthington) each had a goal and an assist, giving both players 18 points on the season.

It was a close contest throughout the first half with Capital holding a 2-1 advantage at the outset of the half on goals by sophomore midfielder Heath Oberle (Westerville/Westerville South) and Snyder.

However, just a minute into the second stanza, sophomore midfielder Paul Sparke (Cincinnati/Archbishop Moeller) knocked in a penalty kick and Capital ran away with the momentum as they got on the board again seven minutes later at the 53 minute mark on an Albeit goal assisted by Snyder.

Freshman goalkeeper John Snyder (Columbus/Thomas Worthington) made six saves in the game, giving him 54 stops on the year, as opposed to only 16 goals against.

Capital will host Heidelberg College on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. at Bernlohr Stadium as they go for their 10th win of the year.
