OLATHE, Kan. - In its first appearance in the NAIA National Championship tournament, No. 4 Ohio Dominican got on the scoreboard early and knocked off No. 13 Maine-Fort Kent, 7-0.  ODU (19-2-0) will advance to the quarterfinals while the Bengals dropped their first game of the year and will end the season 21-1-0 record.

Junior forward Scott Shrewsbury found the back of the net from 20 yards out 37 seconds into the game to give the Panthers a 1-0 advantage.  Eddie Hertsenberg (19:50), Joey Held (25:51) and David Bauer (33.56) all added goals in the first half for ODU.  Held's second goal of the game in the 39th minute gave the Panthers 5-0 halftime lead.

ODU added two more in the second half when Zach Roberts scored in the 67th minute and Devin Cowan found the net at 78:19.
