The Missouri Western soccer team broke a record for most goals in a match on the way to a 6-0 victory over East Central University that propelled the program to its first-ever 2-0 start.

The squad broke the previous record for goals in a match (4) set against East Central on Aug. 29, 2008 when Sydney Andrews scored on a penalty kick to put MWSU up 5-0. The record would be set once again at the 84:11 mark when Drew Mantlo took a steal and launched it into the net from 23 yards out. Brittany Mueller, K.C. Ramsell, Sydney Cluck and Katie Kempf also added goals.

Sarah Lyle is now 2-0 with two shutouts in goal for the Griffons. It is the team’s first 2-0 start in program history.

Just two games into the season, Missouri Western has already matched its season win total from a season ago (2-14-2).

The Griffons open their home schedule this week for matches with Bemidji State on Sept. 12 at Spratt Stadium at 7 p.m., and Augustana on Sept. 14 at noon.
