VMI Deals Campbell 2-1 Loss


LEXINGTON, VA. - VMI made two first-half goals stand up in a 2-1 men's soccer victory over visiting Campbell Saturday afternoon.



Charles Nweke put the Keydets (2-4) in front just 46 seconds into the contest with his fifth goal of the year. Edward Mills then added his first strike off a rebound in the 34th minute as VMI claimed its second one-goal victory over the Camels in as many seasons.



Julian Fulton brought the Camels within one in the 87th minute, but CU (2-4) was unable to equalize and suffered its fourth-consecutive loss after opening the year with two victories.



Campbell
held an 18-14 advantage in shots, but only four of CU's attempts were on goal. VMI keeper Thomas Upton had two saves, while Campbell's Aaron Johnson made four stops.



The Camels are 0-4 away from the Eakes Athletic Complex this year, but return home for their next match on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. vs. High Point.
