COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Saint John's University sophomore midfielder Andrew Johnson (St. Louis Park, Minn.) scored two goals, 1:29 apart, and assisted on another as the host Johnnies defeated Cornell (Iowa) 4-1 on Sunday, Sept. 5. The victory was the first for head coach John Haws.

Senior midfielder Clash Lo (Maplewood, Minn./Tartan) put the Johnnies (1-1-1, 0-0-0 MIAC) ahead 1-0 with his first goal of the season 17:57 into the match. Johnson and sophomore defender Ryan Fuchs (St. Michael, Minn./Rogers) were credited with assists. The assist was Johnson's first career point.

Five minutes into the second half, senior midfielder #J.C. Artavia# (White Bear Lake, Minn.) tallied his first goal of the year with an assist from freshman midfielder Michael Coborn (St. Cloud, Minn./Cathedral).

Johnson then increased SJU's lead to 3-0 with his first collegiate goal 17 minutes later, and added another 1:29 after that. Lo assisted on the first tally, Coborn, again, on the second. Freshman midfielder Calvin Koep (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) earned the second assists on both goals.

Cornell avoided the shutout with a goal from Zach Baker at the 71:38 mark.

Junior Mike Sikich (Apple Valley, Minn.) made four saves to record his first career win. Freshman Ryan Brutger (St. Cloud, Minn./Apollo) replaced Sikich following Baker's goal and made one save.

SJU used 25 different players and out-shot the Rams (0-1-1, 0-0-0 IIAC) 41-12 in the contest (18-6 on-goal).
