Tiffin, OH – The Heidelberg University men's soccer team snapped a four-match skid with a convincing, 4-1, victory over the Albion College Britons on Saturday afternoon.

In the first half of a men's-women's doubleheader on the turf of Hoernemann Stadium, the Student Princes dominated the attacking play from the opening whistle. The Berg men took a 1-0 advantage, in the 16^th minute and never looked back.
 
Following a handball in the box from an Albion defender, Christopher Flores, stepped to the spot to take the penalty. He fired a shot down the middle, making the Briton's keeper miss to his right.
 
The Berg doubled their lead in at the half-hour mark as Ilyes Bouguetof tallied his first goal of the 2021 campaign. Bouguetof chased down a lackluster clearance from the Albion rearguard, and knocked a quality shot over Briton netminder Anton Favre who rushed off his line.
 
The tri-color took a 2-0 lead into the half.
 
Less than ten minutes into the second frame, the Britons would end Berg keeper Sigurd Ilestad's hopes of a clean sheet. A foul called inside the Heidelberg penalty area, gave Albion's Carter Peek a chance from the spot. The Peek capitalized on the PK and cut the Berg lead in half, 2-1. Ilestad finished with four saves in the victory, elevating his season total to 34.
 
The Student Princes answered in the 62^nd minute when Rafael Bellucci Marin netted his third goal of the season with a stunning shot from distance. Minutes later, Kelly Itito connected with Isaac Wienen in front of the Albion net to make the Berg advantage, 4-1.
 
Heidelberg kept the offensive pressure high as regulation drew to a close finishing with 17 shots, nine on goal, to the Britons eight shots, five of which were on target.
 
The victory over the Britons moves the Heidelberg men back to .500 overall, 4-4, as they prepare for their final non-conference match against Adrian College on Tuesday, September 28.
 
The Student Princes host the Bulldogs at the Hidden Valley Soccer Complex. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
