The No. 10 Big Red opened the game with nine straight goals which would eventually result in a 19-4 victory over Oberlin College on Wednesday evening from Deeds Field-Piper Stadium.  The Big Red improve to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference with the victory.

Denison outshot the Yeomen 58-19 and 11 different players scored at least one goal.  Sophomore attack Cory Couture (San Diego, Calif./Coronado) led the team in points with four goals and three assists.  Couture's three assists give him a team-best 14 helpers on the season.  Joining Couture with a four-goal effort was senior attack Brady Burton (Dublin, Ohio/Jerome).  Burton was most effective in extra-man situations where he scored two of his four goals.  He now needs just four more goals to become the program's all-time scoring leader.  Emmett Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo./Air Academy) and Kyle Brown (Glenview, Ill./New Trier) rounded out the scoring leaders for the Big Red, each netting two goals and one assist on the Yeomen.

Senior face-off specialist Connor Detjen (Winnetka, Ill./Loyola Academy) was 9-for-17 in face-offs.  He also scored his first goal of the season in the third quarter and added two assists and four ground balls.  As a team, the Big Red scooped up 44 ground balls as Detjen and Cy Ryan (Palm Beach, Fla./Westminster School) led the way with four apiece.

Gregg Shannon (Lindenhurst, N.Y./St. Anthony's) got the victory in goal for Denison.  He played 35 minutes and posted two saves.  Patrick Cuff (Western Springs, Ill./Lyons Township) and Dan Wallace (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) split the remaining 25 minutes of play.  Oberlin goalie Jon Weisburst played all 60 minutes and finished with 12 saves.

DU was 4-of-7 in man-up opportunities while Oberlin was 2-for-4.  The Big Red will return to the field on Saturday (April 10) when they host St. Vincent at 1 p.m.
