Campbell Blanks Elon 2-0 In Pre-Season Contest


BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell remained unbeaten in pre-season men's soccer action with a 2-0 victory Friday at Elon.



The Fighting Camels, who downed Richmond 4-1 on Tuesday night, scored twice in a two-minute span midway through the first half and ran their exhibition game aggregate score to 6-1. Campbell, which hosts its annual Alumni Game on Saturday at 3:00 p.m., opens the regular season on Aug. 26 at home vs. UNC Wilmington.



Willy Guadarrama opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with his first goal of the pre-season. Freshman Vince Petrasso dribbled into the Elon third, then fed Guadarrama, who scored on a shot from outside the area.



Guadarrama scored 21 goals in 20 games to lead the nation during the 2005 season when he was named second-team All-America by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A freshman from Woodbridge, Ontario, Petrasso tallied a point for the second-straight game after a two-goal effort vs. Richmond.



The Camels doubled the margin less than three minutes later when Josh Elliott headed in a corner kick from Richard Jata. The strike was the third of the pre-season for Elliott, a junior forward.



Campbell held a 6-5 edge in shots, while both teams took five corner kicks. Aaron Johnson (four saves) and Bryce Kenny combined on the shutout in the nets.
