ELMHURST, Ill. — The Eureka men's soccer team was defeated 12-0 by Elmhurst College, the fourth ranked team in the Central region in the rain Saturday.

The Red Devils (1-5) could not slow the undefeated Bluejays (6-0) in the opening half as the hosts launched 18 shots on goal en route to an 8-0 advantage.

Eureka recorded three shots on goal after halftime, with two coming off the foot of Brian O'Malley (Peoria, Ill./Notre Dame). David Doubet (Pekin, Ill./HS) was credited with the other.

Joe Altal netted three goals in the second half to cap the Elmhurst attack.
