DENVER - The No. 7 Metro State men's soccer team crushed Adams State 8-0 at home on Friday. The Roadrunners improved to 7-1-2 overall and 4-0-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, while ASC fell to 0-8-0 and 0-5-0 in the RMAC.

The eight goals were the most Metro State had scored in a game since beating Colorado Christian 9-0 on Oct. 19, 2008. This was the first meeting between the Roadrunners and Adams State as ASC started its men's soccer program last year.

#Scott Grode# got the Roadrunners off to a quick start, scoring in the sixth minute from the left side on a through ball from #Marc Herschberger#.

#Steven Emory# struck just six minutes later on a similar pass from #Chris Yoder# to make it 2-0.

The Roadrunner broke the game open in the 17th minute with two goals coming just 26 seconds apart as #Kevin Pocalyko# netted his second goal of the year and Emory scored his second goal of the game.

#Gerald Mota# scored his first career goal in the 26th minute on a shot from the left post as Herschberger earned his second assist of the game after playing the ball up the left sideline.

The Roadrunners took that 5-0 lead into the break and added their sixth goal just over a minute into the second half when Herschberger found Grode in the box for Grode's ninth goal of the season.

The offense relaxed until the 75th minute when Yoder scored on a through ball in the box from #Walter Bertini#. Bertini scored his own goal two minutes later after taking a misplayed from an ASC player.

#Issa Bissau# recorded his sixth shutout this season, though he did not face a shot on goal.

The Roadrunners outshot the Grizzlies 34-2 in the game.

Metro State will play at Mesa State and Fort Lewis next weekend.
