Box Score
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The UNO men's soccer team fell 6-0 to the IPFW Mastodons on Sunday at Hefner Stadium.
With the loss, the Mavs drop to 1-2 on the season. The Mastodons moved to 2-2.
The Mavs played the Mastodons even for most of the first half, but IPFW's insertion of all-conference standout forward Max Touloute proved to be the difference the Mastodons needed.
Coming off a one-game absence, Touloute came off the bench in the 26th minute and scored two goals and notched an assist to spark the IPFW attack.
The Mastodons broke the scoreless deadlock in the 41st minute when Touloute and Nate Shipman started a combination that led to Jason Mills beating goalkeeper
Josh Christensen inside the right post.
In the 44th minute, Touloute scored his first of the game and fourth of the season by picking the ball away from the Mavericks' defense and shooting inside the far post.
Colin Helmrich added the third goal in the 48th minute, then Touloute scored his second goal of the game in the 59th minute. Helmrich added another goal in the 67th minute, and Ross McWilliams capped the scoring on a header goal off a corner kick in the 80th minute.
IPFW finished with a 13-4 advantage in shots on goal.
Tyler Dixon led the Mavs with three shots, including two on frame. Christensen made seven saves in the loss.
UNO will make a road trip to California this week. On Friday, the Mavs face Santa Clara at 9 p.m. (CT). Then on Sunday, UNO travels down the road to play San Jose State at 1 p.m. (CT).
