The Fighting Camels ran their home record at the Eakes Athletic Complex to a perfect 7-0-0 by scoring twice in the first 20 minutes, then adding an insurance strike midway through the final half. Campbell has outscored its visitors by a 17-5 margin at home, where the Camels have only trailed for 18 minutes and seven seconds all year. In fact, the Camels have not trailed on their home surface since the season opener vs. UNC Wilmington on Aug. 26.

Ranked 10th in this week's South Region poll, Campbell (8-5-2, 3-1-2 A-Sun) extended its unbeaten to five games (4-0-1) and secured one of six spots in the A-Sun Championship, which will be held Nov. 2-4 at DeLand, Fla.

Elliott set up Willy Guadarrama's fifth goal of the year in the 15th minute. Guadarrama drove a left-footed shot from about 22 yards by Belmont keeper Kyle Roelke for his 32nd career goal in 52 matches.

Just over five minutes later, Elliott netted his third goal of the season when Roelke saved Vince Petrasso's effort, but the junior from Salisbury, Md., netted the rebound at 19:52 for a 2-0 Camel margin.

Roelke dove to save a shot from Richard Jata in the box in the 23rd minute to keep the margin at two.

Belmont (7-7-2, 3-2-1) then cut the gap in half in the 41st minute on a re-start deep in Campbell's end. Amr Ali served a free kick across the box and Bruin defender Jay Ayres headed the ball in at the back post for his fifth strike this year.

Campbell held a 2-1 edge at the break and extended its record to 4-0-1 this season when leading at half-time. CU is 7-0-1 when it scores first.

Just after the half, Campbell keeper Aaron Johnson dove to his left at full stretch and held on to Travis Hamilton's shot from the edge of the box. Belmont's Eric Pittel struck a ball from the top of the area in the 60th minute, but Johnson's save again preserved the advantage.

After 63 minutes of play, Julian Fulton controlled a loose ball in the area and fed Richard Jata for his seventh goal of the season to push the Camel edge to 3-1.

Guadarrama nearly added a second strike when his effort from about 25 yards caromed off the underside of the crossbar in the 65th minute.

Belmont's best chance to pull closer came after 85 minutes while Ali's right-footed shot from the top left corner of the area curled just wide right of the upper right corner.

The Bruins held a slight 14-13 edge in shots, but only six hit the target, compared to seven for Campbell. CU took six corners to one for the visitors.

Johnson made five saves in the Camel nets and lowered his goals-against average to 1.21. Roelke finished with four stops in just under 70 minutes for Belmont.

Campbell hosts Lipscomb - the A-Sun regular season finale for both teams - in its annual Homecoming match on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
