Spartan men whip Moccasins 4-0

Next time you hear a professional player or coach complain about fixture congestion because of too many midweek games, consider UT. Four games in seven days. Four wins. Two by shutout. Pretty impressive work from the third ranked team in Division II.

The college season is compact and littered with stretches such as this and they have to attend class as well. Should be a coach's nightmare, but the Spartans (9-0-1) kept rolling on Friday with a 4-0 dismantling of Florida Southern (1-8-0).

The contest was over before the first half was over thanks to three UT goals in the opening half. Leading scorer Pascal Milien turned into assist man on the first two goals by Lister Warren and Brian Fekete. Right before halftime, Zach Fraser made it 3-0 on an assist by Ryan Griffin. In the second half, the Spartans got a late goal to round out the scoring in the seventy-third minute by Greg Davies.

Ryan Thompson made six saves to record UT's second straight shutout.

The win puts Tampa just three points back of the conference leader Rollins College with one game in hand. After three days rest, UT is back in action on the road to Eckerd College.
