LAKELAND, Fla.- In an offensive heavy 9-0 victory over the Trinity College Tigers, the Southeastern University men's soccer team advanced to 4-2-2 on the season with their second consecutive shutout.

After a quick 3-0 lead, the Fire would be quieted for the next 20 minutes until Marcello Cruz found the net in the 27^th minute for the Fire's fourth goal.
 
Out of the locker room, Caio Guazzelli took an assist by Marcello Cruz and turned it in for the Fire's fifth goal, just four minutes into the half.
 
Kory Nekoloff would be the sixth individual for the Fire to record a goal in the 53 minute thanks to an assist by Nico Munari.
 
It took less than 30 seconds for AJ Davis to add two more to the Fire's total, drawing the keeper out and chipping a shot over his head for his first goal of the game and would follow it up with another goal 19 seconds later.
 
Cuyler Brine would secure the Fire's 9-0 victory with his first goal of the season with just two minutes remaining in regulation.
