NASHVILLE, TENN. - Despite playing without four starters, Campbell produced its greatest offensive outburst of the season and defeated Belmont 3-1 Saturday in Atlantic Sun Conference men's soccer action.

With seniors Vince Petrasso and Austin Skakle out due to injury, ailing junior forward Khalil Johnson limited to just 10 minutes and sophomore central defender Kevin Orozco unavailable because of yellow card accumulation, the Camels instead relied on goals from a trio of freshmen, while outshooting the hosts by a 21-11 margin.

Keegan Terry and Mitchell Cardenas had a goal and assist each, while fellow frosh Justin Smith found the net in his second-straight game for Campbell (2-6-1, 1-0-1), which gained four points in the league standings on its Tennessee road trip. In fact, Campbell freshmen produced all five goals (including Ben Iiames' 87th minute equalizer in Thursday's 2-2 draw at Lipscomb) during its swing.

"It's good to get three points on the road at Belmont, which historically has been a tough place for us to play," said Campbell head coach Doug Hess. "I thought our guys did well in dictating the play and grabbing the game. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal first, and we have to be better in managing counter attacks. However, we showed character in coming back to score three consecutive goals."

The Bruins went in front in the 10th minute on Brandon Tarr's fifth strike of the year that came off Justin Hay's feed.

Campbell, however, drew level just over four minutes later on Cardenas' re-start, which Iiames headed down in the box to Terry, whose one-timer found the net for his first collegiate goal.

The game remained deadlocked until the 55th minute when Belmont's Edgardo Padilla was issued his second yellow card of the match and the Bruins were forced to play a man down for the remaining 35 minutes.

Shortly thereafter Terry and Cardenas linked again to put the Camels in front. This time Terry's shot bounded off the post and Cardenas beat the Bruins to the ball to slot home his third goal of the season, and first collegiate winner.

Campbell put the game out of read with 8:39 remaining when Bryan Dornseif slid a pass to Smith behind the Belmont back four and the freshman touched the ball by keeper Lou Manning before netting a left-footed shot for his second goal of the year.

Belmont (1-8-1, 0-2-0) has lost five-straight.

The Camels directed 10 shots on goal (scoring on three) compared to just one shot on target from the hosts. Manning finished with seven saves in the Belmont nets, while Ryan Amons did not make one for CU. Campbell took nine corner kicks to just a pair for the Bruins.

Since the start of the 2005 season, Campbell owns a 26-4-5 record in A-Sun regular season matches, best among current league members. The Camels won the 2005 and 2008 A-Sun regular season titles and claimed the league's tournament title in 2007.

CU, which now holds an 8-2-0 edge in the series vs. the Bruins, returns home to host USC Upstate Thursday in a 7:00 p.m. kick-off.
