The senior was a key part of the Patriots backline that held the Blue Raiders to just three shots in the first half.  Playing man-down in the second half, Meijjs played a vital role in Cumberlands earning a shutout.  In addition to his defensive efforts, Meijs scored the game-winning goal in the 79’ minute as the Patriots earned the 1-0 win.  It was Meijs first goal of the season and helped UC remain unbeaten in conference play.
