GAME 5: [11] DENVER 4-1 UC RIVERSIDE (SEPT. 9, 2016)

I was very happy to see Blake Elder get his first of the season, he’s been working really hard in training, and was rewarded.

GAME 6: [11] DENVER 2-0 BRYANT (SEPT. 11, 2016)

DENVER – Sophomore striker Andre Shinyashiki (Sao Paulo, Brazil) assisted goals to junior midfielder Alex Underwood (Winnetka, Ill.) in the sixth minute and red-shirt junior Blake Elder (Fort Worth, Texas) in the 50th minute to send the [11/13] University of Denver men’s soccer team to a 2-0 win over visiting Bryant on Sunday night at CIBER Field at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium. “To only give up one shot (on goal, two overall), I think defensively, we played very well tonight,” second-year head coach Jamie Franks said.

DENVER – The [8/13] University of Denver men’s soccer team got first half goals on either side of a 38-minute lightning delay to defeat [-/RV] Saint Louis on Thurs-day night at CIBER Field at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium. “I saw a lot of proactive, fighting football tonight,” head coach Jamie Franks said. “That’s our brand, that’s who we are.

GAME 9: [12] CREIGHTON 0-0 [8] DENV (SEPT. 21, 2016)

OMAHA – The [8/9] University of Denver men’s soccer team had the majority of the chances and possession after the intermission and earned a road result at [12/8] Creighton, as the two teams finished 0-0 on Wednesday night at Morrison Stadium.“I think Creighton came out in the first 15 or 20 minutes and pushed the game very well against us,” head coach Jamie Franks said. “I thought that we weathered that storm well and to come to the 12th-ranked team in the country and push the game ourselves after that is a testament to our guys.”

CHARLESTON, Ill. – Redshirt-freshman Ryan Schaefer (Burien, Wash.) opened his collegiate account in the first half and the [8/9] University of Denver men’s soccer team kept its sixth cleansheet of the season to give Denver its ninth win of 2016, a 1-0 result over Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon at Lakeside Field.
