ALMA, Mich. – The Alma College men's soccer program tied for its largest margin of victory and its biggest shutout in school history during a jaw-dropping season opening rout, defeating the Kuyper Cougars by a final score of 10-0.
The Scots have only scored double-digit goals twice prior to Tuesday's explosion, an 11-1 win vs. Andrews in 2013 and a 10-0 victory over Adrian in 2001.
The Basics:
- Records
- Alma (1-0, 0-0 Michigan)
- Kuyper (0-1, 0-0 NCCAA)
- Winning Streak
- Scots (W2) / Cougars' Last Win: N/A
Scots' Top Performers:
- Asher Clark became the first male student-athlete since the athletics website began keeping statistics online in 2011 to record a hat trick, making the feat even more impressive was that he netted his three goals all within the first 11 minutes of his first ever collegiate match.
- Bradshaw Uhlmann broke a tie for fourth place on the team's all-time shutout list, notching career clean sheet number six in the complete game effort, putting him just 1 behind Garrison Mast for the top three.
- Gavyn Moore was the only Scot to register both a score as well as a helper, lacing an unassisted bullet past the lunging keeper in the 29th minute while also setting up Clark's hat trick finale.
- The remaining six goals were all logged by different players as Fabinho Vasco, Alex Zatelli, Anthony Mirolli, Jack Lemerand, Luis Parra Jr, and Dallyn Ellis all found the back of the net.
- An additional three more of the Alma XI received credit for assists with the generous parties including Calum Stewart, Brady Packer and Cullen MacKay.
Next:
- With a cycling event being held in the vicinity of Scotland Yard, Wednesday matinee with Alpena Community College will take place at 1 p.m. on Bahlke Field.
