Attackman Mark Matthews scored three of his game-high four goals in the first quarter as the Denver Outlaws exploded for a season-high 21 goals en route to a 21-7 Major League Lacrosse victory over the Charlotte Hounds at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Saturday night.

Matthews, who tallied a season-high seven points in the victory, led a Denver offense that erupted for 10 goals in the first quarter while building a 10-1 lead.

Led by two goals from attackman Brendan Mundorf, the Outlaws jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first five minutes of the opening period before attackman Billy Bitter narrowed the margin to 4-1 by scoring off a feed from midfielder Stephen Berger with 7:14 left.

But, the Outlaws used a nine-goal run over the next 17 minutes to take a commanding 13-1 advantage with 6:09 remaining in the first half. Matthews and rookie attackman Chris Bocklet each scored twice during the run.

With 2:05 remaining in the first half, attackman Jeremy Boltus ended the Outlaws’ run by scoring a two-point goal off an assist from attackman Matt Danowski, trimming the Hounds’ deficit to 13-3 at the intermission.

The U.S. cruised over England, 20-1, on Sunday in its third pool play game at the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 World Championships, rebounding soundly from an 11-9 overtime loss to Canada 24 hours earlier.

About the only problem the U.S. under-19 men’s national team had Sunday was that starting attackman Matt Kavanagh left his cleats on the bus on the way to the game. Fortunately, that same bus later picked up the English national team, and who scooped up the footwear under the seat? English starting goalie Mike Connor, who handed the kicks to Kavanagh, but then had to deal with him and the rest of Team USA’s offense.

Attackman Kyle Keenan scored a team-high four goals and Kavanagh had two goals and two assists as 12 different players found the back of the net at least once. The U.S. scored the game’s first 11 goals.

“We wanted to get back to our game,” Keenan said. “In the Canada game, we felt like they dictated the tempo of play. We wanted to dominate this game and put the game in our hands.
