The Briar Cliff men's soccer team scored early and often against McPherson Wednesday, as they improved to 3-0 on the season with a 7-1 win.
Â
"We started very quickly and were able to score a couple fantastic team goals early on which set the tempo for the rest of the match," said head coach Teren Schuster. "We created a lot of chances and took our chances when they came. I'm proud of the boys, it was a great win and a great team performance on the road."
Â
The Charger attack peppered the goal for a full 90 minutes, recording 30 total shots with 17 on frame.
Alex Johnson put the Blue and Gold on the scoreboard first with a goal just five minutes into the match. The Charger midfield played a long ball to
Axel Bjerke up the right side, who then found Johnson right in front of the net, who chipped it past the keeper.
Â
Hugo Mariage added to the BC lead four minutes later, after a miscue by the McPherson defender, Mariage corralled the ball and scored his second goal of the season.
Â
Nicolas Karlsen put the Cliff up 4-0 after he scored back-to-back goals in just over a minute of game time. Karlsen scored the first goal unassisted and received the ball right in front of the net for his second goal off a pass from the right goal line from
Andrew Buchanan.
Â
McPherson scored their lone goal of the contest in the 46th minute, but the Chargers would pour on three second half goals in a 10-minute span as they cruised to a 7-1 victory.

After traveling for their first three games of the season, the Chargers will host Friends on Monday for their home opener at Memorial Field. Kickoff is set for 11:00 a.m. between the Chargers and Falcons.
