KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – Freshman Nick Werner and junior Jon Huelsman scored two goals each as the University of Missouri-St. Louis men's soccer team shut out host Truman State, 4-0, on Friday afternoon in Great Lakes Valley Conference action. The win was the Tritons' 10^th in GLVC play, a program-best.
 
UMSL improves to 10-3 in the league and moves its overall ledger to 11-3. Truman State slips to 5-9-1 and 4-8-1 in the GLVC.
 
Werner scored both his goals off free kicks with the first coming in the sixth minute and second one coming in the 89^th minute, while Huelsman netted both of his tallies within a 37-second span.
