SPARTANS EARN WIN OVER GRIFFINS

EDMONTON, Alberta – Fourth-year midfielder Francis Powell's (Coquitlam, B.C.) goal in the 28th minute proved to be all Trinity Western needed as the Spartans defeated the MacEwan Griffins 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Edmonton Scottish Stadium in Edmonton, Alta. The win improves the Spartans to 2-4-1, while the loss drops the Griffins to 2-5-1.
 
TWU third-year keeper Alexander Cordeiro (Burnaby, B.C.) made two saves to earn the shutout victory, while Oleksandr Popravka made five saves in the Griffins loss.
