Griffin Meyer and
Sam Bermingham struck for two goals apiece to fuel Colorado College's 6-0 rout of Schreiner University on Friday afternoon at Stewart Field.
Meyer added an assist to finish the game with a season-high five points.
The Tigers achieved five goals and five assists off the bench while setting a season-best for goals in a game. It was the most goals in a game for CC since a 6-0 win over the Mountaineers in a semifinal game of the 2015 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship at Stewart Field.
Colorado College broke through in the 17th minute when
Matthew Simons scored his first career goal on a header inside the near post off
Will Mallory's corner kick from the left side.
Meyer doubled CC's lead when he converted from the penalty spot with a low shot to the left side. The penalty was given when
Miles Montgomery was taken down from behind on a challenge by Alex Trandai.
Bermingham made it 3-0 when he got on the end of a left-footed cross from Montgomery inside the top edge of the six-yard box and directed a shot past goalkeeper Cody Smith.
Meyer struck for his second goal of the game 6:06 into the second half off precision touches from Bermingham and
Sajjan Singh.
Skyler Stark-Ragsdale scored in the 54th minute off a pass from Montgomery, and Bermingham closed out the scoring a little more than a minute later with a feed from
Isaac Kenner.
Keleher Felton made seven saves while recording his fourth shutout of the season.
His best stop occurred in the fifth minute when he tipped Kevin Escalera's crossing shot from the right side over the crossbar. He also denied Dylan Blough's shot from the left side of the box with nine minutes remaining in the first half.
Smith finished with nine saves in a little more than 53 minutes, including a point-blank stop on a header by Simons in the 13th minute. He also got some hold from defender Zach Rodriguez, who blocked
Kiran Singh's shot from the center of the box in the seventh minute.
Colorado College improved to 11-5-0 overall and a 6-1-0 in the SCAC.
