The Central Methodist University men's soccer team finished its season with a bang Tuesday night in a dominating 7-1 win over Culver-Stockton College.

Culver-Stockton scored the first goal, just more than 10 minutes into the match, on a penalty kick after a CMU player was called for a foul in the box. From there, it was all Central Methodist. The Eagles tied the score at one when freshman Thyago Catharino (Sao Paulo, Brazil) connected on a direct kick in the 18th minute. CMU's lone senior Brandon Ousley (Jefferson City, Mo.), who was honored for Senior Night before the match, scored the next two goals for the Eagles in the 30th and 38th minutes on assists from juniors Rob Humphrey (St. Charles, Mo.) and Pat McVey (St. Charles, Mo.). McVey added a goal in the 41st minute off a pass from Ousley to give Central Methodist a 4-1 lead at halftime.

The Eagles continued to dominate in the second half as Catharino scored two more goals to get a hat trick, and Humphrey accounted for the other CMU goal. McVey, Ousley, Catharino, sophomore Andrew Cline (Kansas City, Mo.) and junior Scott Alvino (St. Louis, Mo.) each added assists in the second half.

Central Methodist finished its season with a 7-9-2 record overall. Six of the Eagles' nine losses came by a one-goal margin this season. Catharino's three goals Tuesday gave him a team-high 16 on the season, while McVey led the team with eight assists.
