Alex Bruemmer, Willy Guadarrama and Richard Jata each scored for the Fighting Camels (2-0), who surrendered just one score for the second-straight outing. Campbell improved to 2-0 on the year for the first time since the 2002 season as eight different Camels either scored or set up strikes during the game.

UNCA (0-2) avoided the shutout in the 83rd minute when Nicholas Baud scored off a rebound from his own penalty kick.

The Camels took the lead early in the second half when Vince Petrasso fed Matt Lightner on the right wing. Lightner played a through ball to Scott Phillips, whose first time cross was netted by Bruemmer's half volley just 24 seconds into the final period.

Asheville had a chance to tie in the 50th minute, but J.W. Gallagher's free kick from just outside the area sailed wide of the right post. UNCA had 14 shots on the night, but only three were on target.

The Camels doubled the lead in the 59th minute when left back Ryan Freeborn split the UNCA defense with a through ball. Guadarrama, a pre-season All-American, ran on to the ball, and beat Bulldog keeper Michael Pereira from outside the area.

In the 61st minute, Josh Elliott nearly scored for the Camels when he struck a shot with the outside of his right foot, but the ball sliced just wide from the top of the box.

Jata scored for the third time in two games in the 82nd minute. Michael Hutchison cleared the ball from the Campbell third to Jairo Zambrana, who controlled, then chipped a pass over the UNCA back four. Jata then lofted a shot over Pereira for a 3-0 Camel advantage.

Despite the fact that Camel keeper Aaron Johnson saved Baud's 83rd minute penalty, the sophomore keeper was unable to snare the rebound. Johnson ran his personal string of 19-straight matches without allowing more than two goals between the Camel pipes.

While the first-half was scoreless, it was not uneventful. Justin Madrid's fourth-minute shot inside the box beat Pereira, but was cleared just inside the right post by Baud. Elliott's header sailed just over the crossbar in the 20th minute. Bruemmer's free header at the far post on 44 minutes missed just wide left.

The Camels held a 16-14 edge on shots, including an 8-3 margin in shots on goal. CU took nine corner kicks to UNCA's four. Pereira finished with four saves in the UNCA nets, while Johnson made two for the Camels.

Campbell returns to action Tuesday at seventh-ranked UNC Greensboro in a 7:00 p.m. kickoff. The game was rescheduled after last Wednesday's contest was postponed due to severe weather in Greensboro. UNC Asheville hosts Wofford at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
