FRANKLIN – The Franklin men's soccer team opened their 2024 home schedule on Thursday (Sept. 5) night with a matchup against the DePauw Tigers at Faught Stadium.
 
The Grizzlies (0-3) got the first career goal from Britton Heinrich to negate an early DePauw (2-0-1) goal, but the Tigers took control the rest of the way in a 5-1 defeat for the home side.
 
How it Happened
Heinrich snuck in behind the DePauw defense for his fourth minute goal, with a long goal kick from Ian Rowe deflecting in behind the defense and Heinrich put the ball away to knot things up at 1-1. But the Tigers would re-take the lead less than a minute after Heinrich's goal and would add insurance in the 36^th, 45^th and 90^th minutes, respectively.
 
Heinrich, Lucas Periera, Alexandre Marijuan Padilla and Adrian Carrasco all finished with shot attempts for the Grizzlies in the game. Ian Rowe stopped a pair of DePauw shot attempts with Easton Terry taking over late in the game and making one save.
