Earlham Falls to Albion

Earlham suffered its first loss of the season, falling at home to Albion, 2-to-1.

Albion needed only about three minutes to grab the early advantage.

Earlham answered in the 12th minute, when Mason Paul converted a penalty kick for his second penalty-kick goal of the season.

The teams went into halftime tied at one.

Albion then earned a penalty in the 63rd minute and converted it for what proved to be the game-winning goal.

Earlham actually outshot Albion 7-to-4 in the second half, but could not find another equalizer.

John De La O led the Quakers with five shots, putting two on goal, while goalkeeper Joshua Gandee made one save.

Earlham falls to 2-1-0, while Albion improves to 1-1-1.
