Box Score GRINNELL, Iowa – The Grinnell College men's soccer team earned its first victory of the season Wednesday in dominating fashion that also included a school record by Artis Curiskis '18.
 
The Pioneers got off 25 shots in a 5-0 blanking of Coe College at Springer Field. Curiskis, playing his first contest as a Pioneer, tied a school record for assists in a game with three. That equaled a mark established by Mark Rosenberg against Eureka College in 2010.
 
Grinnell's goal total is its highest since a 2012 contest against Monmouth College, and the goal differential the highest for the Pioneers since a 2011 win over Knox College.
 
Joseph Brown '15 had two goals for Grinnell, giving the All-Midwest Conference performer three for the year. Another All-MWC pick, Michael Hurley '16, also had a goal, as did Nicholas Brule '17 and Antonio Dimarco '17.
 
Keeper Isaiah Tyree '15, the MWC Defensive Performer of the Week, worked the first half for Grinnell and had four saves. Major May '17 recorded four saves in the second half.
 
The Pioneers improved to 1-1-2 on the season, while Coe dipped to 1-4.
 
Grinnell led 2-0 at halftime, with Brule scoring in the third minute on Dimarco's assist and Brown finding the net in the 18th minute on assists by Brule and Curiskis.
 
On Brule's goal, Dimarco crossed the ball from the near side of the field to the far side. Brule took one touch and fired a shot just inside the box. The ball deflected off the keeper and went in.
 
Brown's goal came when Brule received a pass just inside the box on the far side. He faked a pass back out and made a hard turn, took a few dribbles inside the box and crossed it to the near side, where Brown fired it in from 5 yards out into the right side of the goal.
 
Brown scored again in the 60th minute on an assist by Curiskis. On the play, the Pioneers possessed just outside the center of the box. Curiskis dribbled in and crossed to Brown, who tapped it into the goal.
 
A bit over a minute later, Hurley scored on Brown's assist. Brown broke down the defense in the box on the far side and left a pass for Hurley about 15 yards out. Hurley then powered it into the goal for the score.
 
Grinnell completed the scoring in the 78th minute when Dimarco scored on Curiskis' third assist of the game. The Pioneers had some great ball movement in the box and Curiskis, from right outside the end line in the right side of the box, left a pass for a streaking Dimarco, who tapped it in.
 
Dimarco, Hurley and Brown each took four shots for Grinnell, while Elliot Meyer '15 and Brule had three apiece.
 
Grinnell will play Webster University on Saturday in the Sal Vaccaro Tournament in Naperville, Ill.
