GAMBIER, Ohio – In its first home game of the 2016 season, the No. 3-ranked Kenyon College men's soccer team put together one of the more impressive offensive showings in program history. Six different Lords recorded at least one goal Wednesday evening, as Kenyon carved up the Muskingum University Muskies, 9-0.

The team's total of nine goals was its best output since a 9-0 home win against the College of Mount Saint Joseph on September 30, 2009. It also ranked tied for the fifth-best, single-game total in program history.

Kenyon (5-0-0) didn't waste any time in lighting up the scoreboard. A little more than three minutes into the game, senior Tony Amolo recorded the first of his three goals. Playing a mishandled ball by the Muskies goalkeeper, Amolo deked a sliding defender and fired home Kenyon's first goal.

The Lords then scored their next two goals within 17 seconds of each other. At the 22:17 mark, junior Billy O'Neill launched a crossing pass from the right wing. The ball made its way to the goal mouth and Woo Jeon, also a junior, went airborne to head it home. Shortly after that, Myers lofted a pass down the middle of the field. Amolo beat his defender to the ball and then beat the Muskingum goalkeeper for a 3-0 Kenyon lead.

Amolo tallied his third and final goal off a corner kick sent into play by fellow senior Dalton Eudy. That goal occurred just 50 seconds after Amolo's previous score. His three goals on the day boosted his career total to 47, the third-best total in program history. The goals also improved Amolo's career point total to 115, which pushed him past Tony Mohammed and into third-place among Kenyon's all-time leaders.

The fun didn't stop there for the Lords offense. Sophomore Alberto Carmona served up assists on both of the Lords' next two tallies. His first feed went to sophomore Brice Koval, who booted in his second goal of the season. His next assist, a through ball sent low and up the middle, went to David Anderson, who rang up his first goal of the season by beating the Muskingum goalkeeper to the lower right corner.

Just 16 seconds after Anderson's goal, Will Bennett, another Kenyon sophomore, was pulled down in the Muskies' box and awarded a penalty kick, which he converted. About two-and-a-half minutes later, Bennett took a throw-in from Carmona and found the Muskingum net again, giving Kenyon an 8-0 lead at the half.

The huge lead allowed Kenyon head coach Chris Brown to dish out plenty of second-half playing time to his reserves. Freshmen John Penas and Philippe Stengel took advantage of the situation and connected on the Lords' ninth and final goal. Stengel's pass from the right side of the box allowed Penas to slip by a defender and notch his first collegiate goal.

Kenyon's dominance throughout the game was further reflected in the lopsided counts for shots (33-6) and corner kicks (9-0).

The Lords goalkeeper, senior Sam Clougher, had a quiet evening. He needed to make just two saves to bump his Kenyon career record for shutouts to 38.

Although the Lords have played just one home game since the start of the season, they'll return to the road again Saturday to face the 4-1-0 Thomas More College Saints.
