Co-captain Scott DeVoss (Centennial, Colo.) scored the sixth goal of his career to put the Pioneers 3-0 ahead in the second half.

Freshman winger Stefan DeLeone (Fort Collins, Colo.) played a thru ball in behind to Kronenberg to setup the penalty.

The Denver skipper doubled the Pioneers advantage in the 23^rd minute off a cross field pass from senior winger Kenny Akamatsu (Niigata, Japan). Shinyashiki touched the ball around his defender to setup his strike in the side netting.

Denver created a few more chances in the first half to go into the intermission with a 7-3 advantage in shots and a 6-1 edge in corners.

Kronenberg and freshman outside back Gideon Davis (Barcelona, Spain) made their debuts in the starting XI on Sunday night.

DeVoss found the back of the net for the first time in the 2018 season in the 67^th minute, ripping a half-clearance off a Denver set piece into the left side of the net from 22 yards away.

Shinyashiki completed his second hat trick of the early season off a long ball from senior goalkeeper Nick Gardner (Marvin, N.C.) that bounced over the North Florida back line to the run of Shinyashiki. The Sao Paulo, Brazil, native touched the ball around the goalie at the top of the 18 and finished his eighth goal of the season into the open net.
