TIFFIN, Ohio — The Marietta College men's soccer team entered Saturday (Oct. 20) afternoon's Ohio Athletic Conference match-up against host Heidelberg College with a must-win attitude. The Pioneers, who are currently on the outside looking in for a potential OAC Tournament berth, came through with a 1-0 victory.

The win improves Marietta's record to 6-7-2 overall and 2-4-1 in the OAC. Heidelberg falls to 8-8, 4-3 in league play.

The Student Princes out-shot the Pioneers 17-7 overall, and both teams had six shots on goal.

Sophomore Delè Adedapo (Gahanna/Bexley) took the biggest shot of the game in the 76th minute. The defender came up from the back to take a free kick following a foul and laced it over the keeper's head from 25-yards out for his third goal of the year.

Junior Steve Hagenau (Clearwater, Fla./Central Catholic) and the hard-working defense posted their fourth shutout of the fall. Hagenau made six saves in the win.

Marietta will continues it drive toward an OAC playoff berth with a home game against Wilmington College Wednesday (Oct. 24) afternoon at Marietta Field. The game will begin at 4 p.m.
