JJ Dix scored his first collegiate goal and Chris Olson added a second scoring strike just 20 seconds before intermission, helping the Big Red to a 2-0 shutout over John Carroll from University Heights, Ohio.

Denison got on the scoreboard in the 37th minute when Mark Waterman and Ryan Torgersen assisted on the goal that was converted by Dix.  Eight minutes later, after a save by DU goalkeeper Matt Wagner, the Big Red advanced the ball to the other end of the field where Olson controlled a pass from Dix and scored for the second time this season.

In the second half DU would be outshot 10-3 but Matt Wagner was there to record four of his season-high nine saves in the half for his second shutout of the season.

Olson paced Denison with five shots and Jamie Wagner followed with four.  Blue Streak goalkeeper Carl Contrascier posted six saves in 90 minutes of action.

The Big Red improve to 2-0-1 and will host Thomas More this Friday at 7 p.m. from Barlcay-Thomsen Field.
