The two Trinity squads stepped on to Salamone Field today with a combined 23-1-2 record and their play on the pitch certainly supported the sparkling record.
 
The men's team was able to stay with the Tigers for a half, keeping it knotted 0-0, but Trinity broke through with three second half goals to earn the win. With the result, the Stormy Petrel men are now 6-9-2 on the season.
 
The women's team was overmatched by the Tigers and outshot on the afternoon 17-1 before falling by the final score of 8-0. For the season, the women hold a 5-9 overall record.
 
Both teams are back in action this Sunday afternoon when they square of with Southwestern. The men play at 12:00 p.m. followed by the women at 2:00 p.m.

The Stormy Petrels return all five starters to a team that won 16 games last season and the pollsters are taking notice of a squad that could be out for a banner year in 2009-2010. Among the returning starters for head coach Phil Ponder are All-SCAC First Team selection Todd Ward, All-SCAC Third Team selection Joe Kennedy and All-SCAC Honorable Mention selection David Allison. Add the returning services of swingmen Alex Richey and Wade Weldon, along with a bevy of talented recruits, and the Petrels will be off and running this season.

Richmann graduated from Oglethorpe University in May of 2009 with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in mathematics. She was awarded the Oglethorpe Cup for her many achievements on the Oglethorpe campus and, as a player, Richmann ranks in the top ten of six all-time statistical categories. She currently resides as the school’s all-time leader in blocks and finished her career second all-time in both field goal percentage and rebounding. Richmann played on a squad that won 96 games in four years, earned four trips to the NCAA Tournament including a run to the Final Four in 2008 and was the captain of the 2009 Southern Collegiate Athletic Confernce championship team in her senior year.

The Petrels got an early unassisted goal from Ben Robertson to take a 1-0 lead over the Lynx and made that score stand up until late in the second half. Rhodes, however, found the back of the net three times in the game's final twenty minutes to secure the 3-1 win.
 
Oglethorpe again struck first against Hendrix on Sunday as Aaron Walker took a feed from EJ Ovie-Ogodo to give the Stormy Petrels a 1-0 lead. The Warriors equalized just before the half and then took a 2-1 lead in the game's 64th minute. Ovie-Ogodo equalized for Oglethorpe on a penalty kick only moments later and the score remained tied throughout two overtime periods. Ovie-Ogodo did have a chance on another penalty kick in overtime but the Warriors keeper Adam Legg denied the bid.
 
After consecutive weekends on the road the Stormy Petrels (6-8-2) return home to host Trinity and Southwestern this coming weekend.
 
 

With the decisions the Stormy Petrels are now 5-8 in the 2009 season. After consecutive weekends on the road, Oglethorpe returns to Salamone Field this Friday for action against Trinity.
