Less than three minutes later, Nicola Barjaktarevic would add his first goal of the year. With five minutes remaining, freshman Ricky Mena scored his first collegiate goal to cap Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's scoring. The Bulldogs would outshoot Trevecca 13-2. Jacob Harlow and Joe Shrum would combine for seven saves for Trevecca.
