Campbell Blanks Belmont 1-0; Improves to 3-1 in Atlantic Sun

NASHVILLE, TENN. - Sonny Guadarrama's 77th minute penalty was the lone goal of the match and Campbell won its second-straight Atlantic Sun Conference men's soccer outing on Thursday night at Belmont.

The Fighting Camels (7-3-1, 3-1-0) earned their fourth victory over the last five games and moved one win away from securing a berth in next month's six-school A-Sun Championship tournament.

Belmont's (5-5-1, 2-2-0) two-match win streak ended as Campbell keeper Aaron Johnson notched his third shutout of the year, his second in as many outings.

Johnson had five saves on the night and Campbell's record improved to 6-1-1 during matches in which the freshman from St. Charles, Mo., keeper has started.

With its seventh victory of the year, Campbell notched the program's most wins since the 1997 club went 8-11.

Guadarrama's goal was his seventh of the year and the fourth game-winner for the freshman midfielder from Cedar Park, Texas. Through 11 matches, he has 18 points on seven goals and four assists.

Campbell sophomore Willy Guadarrama, the nation's leading scorer with 33 points on 15 goals and three assists, was held scoreless for only the fourth time in 11 games, but he helped set up the winning sequence.

Willy Guadarrama's shot fell to his younger brother's feet, and Sonny Guadarrama was pulled down from behind inside the box as he dribbled by a Belmont defender. He then beat Lipscomb keeper Kyle Roelke from the spot, converting his second penalty in as many chances this year.

Belmont held a 15-6 edge in shots, but only a 5-3 advantage in attempts on target. Roelke ended the night with two saves.

Campbell continues its three-match road swing on Saturday in a 7:00 p.m. start at Lipscomb (3-6-1, 1-3-0), a 2-1 winner over Gardner-Webb Thursday. [Box Score]
