The Gallaudet men's soccer team was the first Gallaudet sports team to play with the new scoreboard installed on Hotchkiss Field, as they battled St. Mary's College tonight, suffering a 3-0 defeat.

The new scoreboard which is double the size of the previous one, proved a hit wiith the fans who proclaimed the scoreboard easier to see with it's larger numbers and it's location closer to the stands.

The men gave their best effort on defense, stopping numerous shots by St. Mary's, but were unable to establish an offensive attack. Their best opportunity came when Trenton Lukin drove the ball up the field, faked out two St. Mary's defenders , and was one on one with the goalie when he unleashed a hard shot from 20 yards away. Unfortunately for Gallaudet the St. Mary's goalie made a great save to preserve the shut-out.

Fans will have an opportunity to see the new scoreboard that is drawing rave reviews from fans, players, and coaches all week as Gallaudet athletic teams are at home every day this week, except for Friday night. The women's soccer team play Tuesday night at 7 pm against York College. The men's soccer team plays again Wednesday night at 7 pm. The women will play Thursday night at 7 pm against Stevenson. Then Saturday, on Homecoming Day, the football team will play with the scoreboard for the first time, when they play Southern Virginia at 2 pm. The women's socer team will play immediately after the football game at 5 pm vs. King's (PA). Bison fans are invited to come out and watch all the teams play this week at Hotchkiss Field.
