PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill.  – Trinity Christian (Ill.) (2-0-1, 0-0 CCAC) remained unbeaten with a win over the Red Raider men's soccer team (1-1-0, 0-0 GPAC) today, as Northwestern split their opening weekend in the Chicago metro.

Three goals were scored in the first half, as the Trolls jumped out to a 2-0 lead with two goals in the span of seven minutes by David Hernandez and Ismael Aguero, respectively.

Northwestern cut their deficit in half at the 37-minute mark as Stan van den Beld (Jr., Voorhout, Netherlands) scored his second goal of the year and eighth of his career.

The Raiders were on the attack throughout the second half to try and tie the match, taking seven shots to Trinity Christian's four, but their Ivan Perez drew a foul that led to a penalty-kick goal, putting the Trolls ahead by two goals with ten minutes to play.
