ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis men's soccer was clicking on all cylinders from the opening whistle Sunday afternoon, topping Creighton 4-0 at Hermann Stadium.
Â
Coupled with their double OT win against Louisville on Thursday, the Billikens are 2-0 on the young season. Creighton falls to 0-2.

Senior
A.J. Palazzolo recorded his first goal as a Billiken to put SLU ahead 1-0 in the 25

Patrick Wilkinson sent a ball into the box that
Kipp Keller chested down. Palazzolo found it on the right side and sent one to the far post for the first goal of the match.

Seth Anderson scored his first collegiate goal to put SLU ahead 2-0 in the 33
rd minute.
Kevin Komodi and Wilkinson connected in the back. Anderson ran toward Wilkinson's long ball and buried a shot past the Bluejay keeper.
Â
SLU's third goal of game came in the 57
th minute on unselfish play fromÂ
John Klein and

Â
Freshman
Daniel Moore completed the scoring in the 80
th minute when he recorded his first career goal.
Chris Alwang sent in a corner kick, and a running Moore flicked it toward the goal line. It initially appeared the Creighton defender cleared it off the line, but the linesman had a good look at it and signaled goal for the 4-0 Billiken final.
