Calvin put its undefeated record on the line Tuesday night when it faced host Wheaton College in a non-conference game under the lights of McCully Stadium. Wheaton flexed its muscles and showed why it is nationally ranked by shutting Calvin out, 3-0. Calvin falls to 3-1 on the season, while Wheaton rises to 5-2 overall. 

Wheaton came out quickly and struck gold in the sixth minute of the match with a goal to go up 1-0. Not too long after, in the 22nd minute, Wheaton added another to obtain a 2-0 lead. The teams battled through the rest of the half to finish at 2-0. 

Each team looked to score the first goal in the second half to try to gain momentum. The teams played until the 77th minute when Wheaton scored the first goal of the second half to put it up 3-0. Calvin had an indirect kick just out side the box in the closing minutes, but could not convert. 

Calvin sophomore goalkeeper Joe Westra (Grand Rapids Christian) faced 14 shots on the night and accumulated three saves. 

Tuesday night's meeting marked the 41st meeting between the two schools in men's soccer with Wheaton holding a 33-2-6 series edge. 

Calvin will be back in action for the Wisconsin-Oshkosh Valley Cup Invitational, starting Friday night when it faces host Wisconsin-Oshkosh at 3:30 p.m. (ET). The Knights will play their second game of the invitational on Saturday against Wisconsin-Whitewater, beginning at 1:00 p.m. (ET).
