Whittier College men's soccer took a break in their SCIAC
schedule and faced-off with Division III Independent, Chapman
University at Donald E. Graham Soccer Field on October 1.
Chapman used a pair of goals in a ten minute period of the first
half to catapult them to a 3-0 win. The loss gives the Poets
a 1-8-1 overall record.
Chapman struck for the first time in the 25th minute
when Bo Dupar sent a 20-yard free kick into the near-post corner to
give the Panthers all they would need for the win. In the
34th minute, Garret Archer scored a goal assisted by
Kevin DeCarvalho to double the Chapman lead before halftime.
Archer returned the favor in the second half, finding DeCarvalho
for Chapman's final goal in the 51st minute. The
Poets had a number of good scoring opportunities. Three of
their five shots were on goal and they were awarded six corner
kicks in the game.
The Poets return to conference play on October 3 when they travel
