2011 US Open Cup First Round: Foxes get sly in 5-0 win over DV8 Defenders

June 15, 2011 by J.T. Alwin

The PDL’s Real Colorado Foxes started off hot early and scorched the USASA’s DV8 Defenders of California 5-0. Five different players netted goals that helped the team advance to the Second Round in their first-ever trip to the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

While unable to find the net in the first third of the game, the Foxes controlled possession early, becoming a sign of things to come. Taylor Kemp opened the scoring with a volley in the 33rd minute, followed shortly by Isaiah Schafer knocking one in at 37′. Kyle Christensen then started the rout with another goal in the 42nd minute.
