Green Bay, WI- Senior forward Joshua Okoampa scored four times and, sophomore midfielder Tosaint Ricketts added two goals and an assist, as UW-Green Bay blasted IPFW, 9-2 on Monday afternoon.
The Phoenix (4-2-0) put the match out of reach early, tallying twice in the first 16-minutes.
Leading 3-0, Okoampa got the first of his four scores at the 37:26 mark beating IPFW goal keeper Josh Howell to the left side.
Okoampa made it 5-0 in the 40th minute, when he converted his own rebound from about 10 yards out.
The Mastodons (0-6-0) cut the Phoenix lead in the early stages of the second half. Freshman midfielder Josh Sommer blasted a shot, from about 25-yards out, that found the upper left hand corner of the net. Junior forward Chas Parry got the assist on Sommer's goal.
Then, in the 51st minute, Parry took a pass from senior midfielder Evan Coss, beat UWGB keeper Josh Loyd to the ball, and punched it home.
That is as close as IPFW would get as Ricketts and Okoampa finished off the scoring with a pair of goals each.
It doesn't get any easier for the Mastodons, as they begin conference play this Sunday.
IPFW will travel to Akron to take on the 12th ranked Zips at 1pm.
