San Antonio - The seventh-ranked Trinity Tigers men scored a season-high in goals with a 10-0 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference shutout Sunday afternoon over the Austin College Kangaroos at the Trinity Soccer Field.

Trinity, the defending conference champion, upped its record to 10-2-0 and 4-0-0 SCAC. The Tigers last scored 10 goals in a game on Sept. 21, 2007, in a conference victory over the Millsaps Majors at Jackson, Miss. Trinity has won two straight games this season, and nine of the last 10. Austin College dropped to 4-5-3 and 1-3-2 SCAC.

Sunday's game was highlighted by junior forward Peter Philpott of London, England, who recorded a hat trick. His three goals came in the 54th, 71st, and 88th minutes. The eventual game-winner was produced in the 12th minute by junior midfielder CH Farmer.

Also scoring were senior midfielder Tommy Barros, junior midfielder Jordan Wade, sophomore defender Michael Micheletti, first-year forward Jeremy Gray, and first-year midfielders Jeff Hayes and Sean Cantarella.

Junior defender David Steuber had three assists in the game, and sophomore defender Luke Tibbitts made two. Included in the assists list were Barros, junior midfielder Zach Garcia, sophomore forward Alan Castillejos, junior midfielder Josh Adams, first-year midfielder MJ Kawamoto, and sophomore midfielder Aaron Olson.

Senior goalkeeper Joe Benefield played the entire first half.  Junior Jacob Truitt and first-year keeper Michael Barbosa split time in the second half, finishing off the shutout.
 
Trinity overwhelmed Austin College with a 34-3 advantage in shots, and led 24-0 on goal.
 
The Tigers continue their SCAC campaign next Friday by hosting Millsaps at 8 p.m., which is followed by a Sunday afternoon matchup with Birmingham-Southern College.
