SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. -- The John Brown University men's soccer team continued its unprecedented goal-scoring streak as it racked up nearly double-digits for the third time in as many games as the Golden Eagles hit Ecclesia (Ark.) with a 9-0 final on Saturday (Sept. 28) afternoon at Alumni Field.
The Golden Eagles (6-2-0) have now scored 28 goals in their last three outings, averaging 9.3 goals over the span. JBU upped its goals per game on the season to now 5.1 goals per match.

Six other players scored a goal for the hosts, including freshman Dalton Georgopulos and Eli Jackson who potted their first-career collegiate goals in the contest.
John Brown rotated through its full battery of goalkeeper as senior Britt Wisener made the start before giving way to freshman Logan Campbell after the Golden Eagles took a 3-0 lead. After the bathroom break, sophomore Jens Keemers took control between the posts for the entire second half, coming up with a close-range save in the 51st minute.
