SOU Defeats College of Idaho to Improve to 3-3 on the Season

Box Score

Mar. 7, 2010

SOU played our first league game of the season on the road at the College of Idaho on Sunday. 

The game started out fast as C of I scored the first goal on their first shot.  Sophmore middie #4 Max Reynor won the ensuing face-off clean, pushed the ball, and scored on a well placed off-hip shot to tie the game.  SOU did not give up the lead from there.  Freshman #5 Erik Main scored his first career goal on a nice feed from Sr. Attack #1 Ty Baumann.  Ty would score our next two goals unassisted on solid individual dodges.  Ty then hit freshman #22 Tom Halley for his first goal of the game .  Our scoring was rounded out as Jr. Captain #11 Sean McQuown scored a nice left handed goal on a feed from #5.  C of I scored one more in the first to make the score 6-2 after the 1st. 

The scoring slowed down as C of I's goalie made some really great saves in the 2nd.  SOU put 8 of our 9 shots on cage in the qt. but C of I's goalie stopped 6 of those 8.  The two that SOU put in were scored by #22 on EMO with #11 getting the assist.  Our other goal came as Jr. midfielder #3 Stephen Davenport made an aggressive dodge, drew the slide, and found the open man #6 Sr. Captain Bubba VanEgdom.   C of I was held to only two shots on cage in the qt. but they put one of those in to make the score 8-3 at the half. 

SOU would continue to control the tempo of the game by controlling the face-offs and forcing turnovers on C of I's clearing attempts.  SOU outshot C of I 15-2 in the 3rd but only put 8 of those on cage.  #3 Davenport made a good dodge from up top and buried the shot for our first goal of the 3rd.  Our other tally came on EMO as #11 McQuown found #22 Halley again.  C of I was able to put one in to make the score 10-4 going into the 4th. 

The 4th started w/ Sr. defensive captain #17 Joe Robert pushing the ball upfield in transition feeding Freshman attack #8 Andrew McKay for the goal.  Freshman attack #50 Kolby McKneal scored his first goal in college later in the 4th.  SOU's final goal came as #3 Davenport found #11 McQuown.  C of I was able to score 2 in the 4th to make the final score 13-6.

Sr. Goalie #13 Greg Morelli gets the win.  This was a great game that allowed SOU to get all of our middies equal playing time and our 2nd attack line lots of action.

SOU improves to 3-3 on the season and takes on PLU next Sunday in Tacoma, WA. 

The coach of C of I Matt Gier has that program going in the right direction for sure.  In our time in the League I don't think they have ever actually had a dedicated coach until he stopped playing and starting coaching.  With this team being as young as they are they will only get better. 

Thanks for hosting all weekend!
