SAN ANTONIO - Twelfth-ranked Trinity earned a measure of revenge with a season-opening 2-1 win over Whitworth in a non-conference men's soccer match on Saturday afternoon.

Friesen scored the only Whitworth goal

The match was a make-up of Friday night's scheduled contest, which was postponed due to heavy rain and lighting.

Whitworth trailed 2-0 before Matt Friesen scored to pull the Pirates within a goal with just under four minutes to play. Freshman Travis Gutierrez assisted on the play.

Trinty took a 1-0 lead on Patrick Floeck's goal in the 27th minute. German Gomez added the second goal in the 63rd minute.

The Tigers won the closest thing to a rematch of a 2005 contest between the squads that sent Whitworth to the NCAA Division III final four and ended Trinity's season. The Pirates won that match by an identical 2-1 score.

The Tigers outshot the Bucs 16-7, including a 9-3 edge in shots on goal.

Whitworth, opening the season with six new starters, will look for its first win on Sunday when the Bucs take on Southwestern University.
