Guadarrama Double Sends Campbell Past North Florida 2-0 In Atlantic Sun Men's Soccer


BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Willy Guadarrama scored twice in an 8:30 span during the second half and Campbell defeated North Florida 2-0 Saturday in an Atlantic Sun Conference match at the Eakes Athletic Complex.



The Fighting Camels (6-5-1, 2-1-1) won their second-straight outing and improved to 5-0-0 at home this year. CU has not trailed in its last four home outings and has outscored its foes by a 13-4 margin over its five games at Eakes.



North Florida
(2-8-1, 0-3-0) saw its winless streak extended to eight games (0-7-1), including four-consecutive losses. UNF is also 0-4-0 this year on opponents' home turf.



Keeper Aaron Johnson had four saves in the Camel nets and recorded his second shutout of the year, while lowering his goals-against average to 1.23.



A junior pre-season All-America choice from Cedar Park, Texas, Guadarrama recorded his first multi-goal outing of the 2006 season and in the process moved into 14th place on Campbell's all-time scoring list. In 49 career outings, Guadarrama has 71 points on 31 goals and nine assists.



Richard Jata set up Guadarrama's second goal and ran his personal string to five-consecutive home games with at least one goal or assist. The sophomore from Port Richey, Fla., ranks second in the A-Sun with 16 points on six goals and four assists in 12 games.



Campbell nearly took the lead in the first half when Josh Elliott hit the cross bar in the 21st minute and Vince Petrasso's effort also caromed off the bar in the 40th. The tandem, however, linked passes to set up Guadarrama in the 61st minute to push the Camels in front.



Petrasso fed Elliott down the right flank and the junior crossed into the box, where Guadarrama headed home his third goal of the year at 60:30.



Less than a minute later, however, Johnson had to dive left to steer a left-footed shot from UNF's Matt Williams just past the right post and preserve the one goal edge. After Johnson saved Mats Elsater's shot at 68:01, the Ospreys were unable to get off an attempt over the last 21:59.



On 69 minutes, Jata pushed the ball forward to Guadarrama and his 30-yard effort beat UNF keeper Freddy Neely for a two-goal Campbell cushion. Guadarrama ran his season tally to 10 points on four goals and two assists.



Elliott was denied in the 72nd minute when his point-blank shot beat Neely, but UNF back Matthew Hollyoak cleared the ball off the line.



Campbell finished with a 14-7 edge in shots, including an 8-3 advantage in the second period. The Fighting Camels return to action Tuesday at home in a 7:00 p.m. kick-off against third-ranked North Carolina.
