Game Summary / GameDay Online

ST. PAUL, Minn. — As if having to overcome a 6-0 loss to Saint John's wasn't enough, the Saint Mary's University men's soccer team had to face St. Thomas — unbeaten in its first eight Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games.

Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

And fueled by a four-goal second half, the Tommies certainly burned SMU, keeping the Cardinals winless in conference play with a 5-1 MIAC win.

Joe Voeller scored the first of his two goals three minutes into the half, as UST took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

Then the roof caved in on the Cardinals, as St. Thomas erupted for three goals in a three-minute span early in the second half

Max Weber kicked off UST's three-goal second-half outburst with his third goal of the season, and, three minutes later, Thomas Gjervold's eighth goal of the season made it 4-0. Derek Engler then pushed UST's lead to 5-0, before Jermaine Walker (Evanston, Ill.) finally got the Cardinals on the board with a penalty kick goal in the game's 89th minute.

The Cardinals, who dropped to 0-9-0 in the MIAC — and has not won a conference game since Sept. 30, 2006, when the Cardinals dropped Concordia, 2-0, a span of 13 games — play host to Upper Iowa in a nonconference game on Thursday, before closing out their season with a conference home game against Bethel on Saturday.
