DENVER – Looking for a fresh start at the start of conference play, the Cougars didn't get what they were desiring.

In their first RMAC game of the season, Colorado Christian fell to Metro State 4-0 on Friday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED: In addition to scoring three goals in the first half, Metro State play stout defense to control the game on their home pitch.

The Roadrunners (2-3, 1-0) opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Benjamin Brill's headed home Cameron Stopforth's corner kick. The home team continued to hold their one-goal lead until the 28th minute when Bryan Amouyal notched his first goal of the season on a left footed boot into the back of the net. Michael Longtine completed the first half scoring with just over six minutes left in the frame as he scored off a rebounded shot originally taken by Rafael Munoz-Vega.

Metro State's lone goal in the second half came off a Jacob Coking shot after a nice crossing feed from Jaydon Moreschini in the 68th minute.

BEHIND THE BOXSCORE

- Zach Roberts made eight saves in front of the goal
- Metro State held the Cougars without a shot in the opening half while holding a 28-2 edge for the contest
- Brice Minter and Tanner Mackay each took a shot for Colorado Christian

UP NEXT: The Cougars will look to regroup on Sunday when they host Westminster at Trailblazer Stadium at Noon.
