ELKINS, W.Va. - The Saginaw Valley State University men's soccer team picked up its fifth win and second shutout of the season with a 5-0 victory over Davis and Elkins College on Friday (Sept. 27).
    Junior Stephen Walker (Manchester, England) opened the scoring with a goal in the ninth minute on a pass from junior Paul Thomas (Manchester, Eng.). Sophomore Josh Mosser (Haslett, Mich.) and freshman Mario Theodorou (London, Eng.) each scored to give the Cardinals a three-goal halftime lead.
