FREDERICKSBURG, VA - Freshmen Matt Davis and Kohl Meyer each scored a pair of goals to lead the University of Mary Washington men's soccer team to an 8-0 win over Gallaudet University on Thursday afternoon at the Battleground. UMW head coach Roy Gordon surpassed the 400-win plateau with the victory.

The Eagles led, 3-0, at halftime, with goals from Tommy DiNuzzo (9:12), Ryan Taibl (19:14), and Matt Lawrey (43:13). The second half saw Davis score at 55:33, and Meyer score at 64:36 and 67:41. Vincent Kooijman added a goal at 68:43, and Davvis scored the capper at 75:31.
