Box Score Phoenixville, PA - A second half surge from the Cairn Highlanders propelled the men's soccer team to a 6-0 win over Valley Forge Christian College.

Box Score

It was the second time this season the Highlanders have reached the six-goal mark.

Things got off to a slow start however. Despite outshooting the Patriots 17-1 in the opening stanza, Cairn was only able to put one goal past Valley Forge's Robert Taylor in net. Taylor recorded 7 saves in the first half to keep the score respectable for the Patriots.

In the 23rd minute, Cody Mosely finally got the Crimson on the scoresheet. With that goal, the Highlanders took just a 1-0 lead into the break.

Within the first fifteen minutes of the second half, the senior forward would complete his hat-trick, knocking in back-to-back goals in the 57th and 60th minute. Mosely converted a penalty for his second goal before unleashing a 20-yard rocket to give Cairn a 3-0 lead.

Less than a minute later, sophomore Caleb Moore made it 4-0. Moore was played in on goal from sophomore Craig Kikendall in the 61st minute, placing his shot in the upper-righthand corner of the net.

The onslaught continued in the 62nd minute, as yet another sophomore would tally a goal. Andrew Milcarek collected a ball on the left flank and cut in to let fly a blast from outside the box to make it 5-0.

In the 84th minute, the Highlanders were awarded a free-kick from about 45 yards out. From the free-kick, Andrew Gordon would rocket his shot off of the crossbar only for the rebound to come off right to Caleb Moore who made no mistake with it to secure his second goal of the game. With that, the Highlanders had their sixth goal.

Eventually, Cairn would outshoot Valley Forge 37-2.

The victory pushes the men to 2-2 on the season.

The Highlanders will return to the road on Monday when they travel to Chestertown, MD where they will face Washington College.
