ST. LOUIS – It was upset city in St. Louis as the No. 22-ranked University of Indianapolis Greyhounds fell victim to an offensive onslaught of the Maryville Men's Soccer Team. The Saint piled on three unanswered goals, including two in the first half.
Bryce Glisson and
Mason Crew were the ones to get the job done in the first half. For the second-half scoring,
Yayo Mutombo was the goal getter, his second game in a row with a goal with him netting the game-winner at Wis.-Parkside just a week before.
It was yet another clean sheet for GLVC Defensive Player of the Week
Steen Nielsen as he nabbed three saves in the win.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Only seven minutes into the contest, the Saints made their presence known against the ranked Greyhounds as a cross by
Sebastian Weitlaner set up a boom for Crew which was deflected by Glisson into the goal.
The offense of the Saints, tasting blood in the water, added on with Crew heading a pass by
Carl Norby right past the UIndy keeper.
After the break, the Saints success continued as Mutumbo scored his aforementioned second goal of the season, hammering the nail home in the Saints dominant 3-0 win.
Overall on the day, the Saints outshot the Greyhounds 11-4, with the visitors not getting off a shot in the second half.

DAWG TALK
Head Coach
Adam Hall on the victory…
"I'm really lost for words [on that game], it felt really deserving. I thought we've had a good season, we've outshot teams like Rogers State 25-4, but just haven't gotten the results. I've told the guys, 'I believe in the quality we've got… we can beat some of the big teams, we just got to believe in ourselves.' Obviously today, we get that full performance, so I'm really happy."\
Mutumbo on finding in stroke offensively…
"Honestly, just the first goal [has] given me a little more confidence, so getting the second is just another big boost and I hope I can keep it going."
