Calvin became just the second collegiate men's soccer program in the state of Michigan to reach the 400-win plateau as the Knights defeated Albion on the road 3-0 Saturday afternoon. In 43 years of collegiate play, the Calvin men's soccer team has compiled an overall won-loss record of 400-214-57 for a winning percentage of .636. Calvin joins Michigan State University as the only two college men's soccer programs in the state of Michigan to record 400 wins or more. The Spartans reached the 400-win plateau earlier this fall. 

Sophomore Sam DeYoung (Western Michigan Christian) had a big day for Calvin in the historic win with a goal and an assist. DeYoung helped put Calvin on the board in the first half as he assisted on a goal by sophomore Mike Standfest (Elk Rapids) in the 32nd minute. Sophomore Marcus Decker (Grand Rapids Christian) gave Calvin a two-goal lead on a goal in the 77th minute off an assist from sophomore Eric Krauss (Grosse Pointe). DeYoung then scored his third goal of the year with just over 10 minutes left to play, converting a pass from senior Peter Knoester (Grand Rapids Christian). 

Calvin outshot the Britons (5-8-2 overall, 3-5-1 MIAA) 10-6. Senior Matt Thelen (Grand Haven) recorded his 43rd career victory in goal for the Knights including his 17th career shutout win with five saves.  

Calvin returns to action on Tuesday when it travels to nationally-ranked and league-leading Kalamazoo for a game slated to start at 4:00 pm.
