Nine Yotes Score Goals in Shutout Win Over Walla Walla

CALDWELL, Idaho - Nine different College of Idaho players scored goals in the Coyotes biggest offensive explosion in 18 years, a 9-0 win over Walla Walla University at rainy Simplot Stadium Friday afternoon.
 
The Yotes (7-4-1, 5-4-1 CCC) got on the board just five minutes into the match after an Alexius Westlund pass found Kristian Quiros to put C of I up 1-0.
 
The Wolves (0-11-1, 0-10 CCC) held on for a majority of the first half thanks to three big saves from goalkeeper Diego Molina to keep the Yotes at bay.
 
C of I, however, would double the lead after an intercepted pass in the midfield found Vitor Matos on a solo run and shot in the 32nd minute. 11 minutes later, Liam Kelly would add to the scoresheet after a Lucas Thorne pass in the penalty box helped Kelly bury his second goal of the season.
 
In a span of 13 minutes, C of I rallied off five goals in the second half. After a Caio Pereira goal in the 46th minute, Zach Flannery would find his first collegiate goal in the 48th minute after a Ben Garrick cross found Flannery at the back post. Garrick, Bernardo Zanatta and J.J. Osuna also found goals to put the game out of reach for the Wolves.
 
In the 89th minute, C of I would put the final nail in the coffin with a Mario Ruiz shot to get his first collegiate goal.
 
In a game that saw 26 Coyote players, C of I outshot Walla Walla 27-6 and had a 7-3 corner kick edge.
 
The Yotes return to action on Sunday for Senior Day against Carroll at 11 a.m.
