Albion, Mich. -  On a windy day at Alumni Field, the men's soccer team dominated the first half with 3 goals on their way to cruising to a 4-0 victory over Adrian in front of a crowd of 67 on Saturday afternoon.

The offensively potent Britons utilized the strong wind to their advantage, scoring their first goal 3 minutes into the game when senior forward Brett Bonjernoor (Lake Ann/Traverse City West) scored his first goal of the season off of a great pass from sophomore Jason Smith (Tecumseh/Tecumseh).

Albion proceeded to pour on the pressure, eventually notching another score at 33:49 when Smith scored on a penalty kick.  Shortly after that goal, junior Chris Himes (Fenton/Fenton) blew the game open with an unassisted goal, the Brits' third of the first half off of 10 shots.

 The second period was a more back and forth affair, with each team notching 7 shots.  Jason Smith knocked a shot off of the post before sophomore Clayton Wilson (Chelsea/Chelsea) nailed the final score of the match off of a nice assist from freshman Andrew Low (Niles/Brandywine).  Junior goalkeeper David Melotti posted two saves on the day.

This victory improves the Britons' record to 8-9-1 on the season.  Next week, the squad goes on the road against Olivet on Nov. 3.
