Box Score

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - The Edgewood College men's soccer team defeated Illinois College 3-1 on Sunday afternoon, clinching head coach Tim Alexander's 200th men's soccer victory. Alexander is now just the fifth coach in the history of the NCAA (all divisions) to record both 200 men's soccer and 200 women's soccer victories.

Edgewood College (1-2) fell behind 1-0 at halftime, but responded with three straight goals in the second half. Senior Greg Dezell contributed to all three goals. First, on a breakaway, Dezell's shot was saved but not controlled by Blue Boys' goaolkeeper Trevor Donahue. The rebound deflected off the face of an Illinois College player and into the net to tie the game 1-1.

Just over a minute later, Dezell fed senior Nate Hedrington for a score, which would turn out to be the game-winner. The Eagles capped the scoring when Dezell slotted a ball to Taylor Stofflet on the left wing. Stofflet outran the Illinois College defense and beat Donahue for an insurance goal.

Alexander joins Findlay (Ohio) coach Andy Smyth, Maryville College (Tenn.) coach Pepe Fernandez and Hendrix College (Tenn.) men's coach Doug Mello as active coaches in the 200-200 club. University of Portland's legendary coach, the late Clive Charles, is also a member.

Edgewood College will open Northern Athletics Conference play on Saturday when they host Aurora University. Live video and live audio will be available on EdgewoodCollegeEagles.com.
