ATCHISON, Kan. -�On paper, the match up on Saturday night between the No. 15 Benedictine College men's soccer team and Central Methodist University looked to be evenly matched.

Benedictine broke a scoreless tie during the 39th minute when Joe Sbarro scored off an assist from Kyle Fischer.�The Ravens held a 1-0 advantage at the half over CMU and a slight advantage in shots at 7-3 at the break as well.

As the time ticked away on the second 45 minutes of play, Benedictine's offense started to heat up as the Ravens exploded for five second-half goals en route to the victory over CMU.

With a 9-5 advantage in shots over the second half, the Ravens doubled up the Eagles for the match, outshooting CMU 16-8.

Raven keeper Taylor Vinnage tallied the shutout.
