THE RUNDOWN:  

• The Wheaton College men's soccer team opened the 2019 season with a 3-0 win over Colby-Sawyer College this evening at the Norwich University Cadet Kickoff Classic. 
• The sophomore trio of Charlie Stringer, Alex Nickerson and Antonio Rogliano each owned a piece of Wheaton's scoring, as Nickerson and Rogliano recorded their first collegiate goals. 
• Nickerson wasted almost no time putting the Lyons on the board after converting a ball from Troy Mattos just 2:14 into the contest.
• In just about the 25th minute, after 6 shots and a pair of corner kicks following the first on the board, Wheaton scored again for a 2-0 lead thanks to the unassisted goal of Rogliano. 
• The Lyons opened the second period with two shots before Stringer found the back of the net at 54:19. The remainder of the game proved to be uneventful, as Wheaton fired the only shot from there to seal the 3-0 victory. 
• Wheaton outshot Colby-Sawyer 12-3 while taking four corner kicks to the Chargers' two. 
• Diego Medina appeared for the first 79:07 and came up with two saves, while newcomer Cameron Millington closed out the game with an unchallenged 10:53 minutes of work. 
• Colby-Sawyer's Lucas Boetsch records the loss with three saves and three goals against.
