BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell was unable to hold a 3-1 lead with 23 minutes remaining and dropped a 4-3 Atlantic Sun Conference men's soccer decision Thursday night at Jacksonville.

Nedim Hrustic scored twice to offset a two-goal, one-assist performance by Campbell's Mitchell Cardenas as the Dolphins struck three times in a 3:40 span to overcome a 3-1 deficit.

Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Camels scored three unanswered goals, capped by Cardenas' free kick from 25 yards that put the Camels ahead by two with 23:23 left.

However, Hrustic scored on a rebound in the box just 1:56 later, then the Dolphins equalized on Hrustic's penalty kick less than a minute later at 69:16.

Only 2:58 elapsed before Jacksonville was back in front when Karamatic's shot was redirected into the goal by Camel defender Ben Iiames.

Campbell (4-6-4, 2-4-0 A-Sun) lost its third-straight match. Jacksonville (8-6-1, 3-3-0) won its second in a row.

The victory was just the second in the last 10 games in the series for the Dolphins, who trail 7-2-1 during that span.

In the opening half, Cardenas hit the woodwork off a free kick just 8:54 into the game. Karamatic then scored his sixth goal of the year at 14:24.

Just 2:30 into the second half, Jacksonville was cited for a hand ball in the box and Cardenas equalized from the penalty spot. Only 31 seconds later, Cardenas hit a free kick into the area and freshman Justin Franz headed the ball in for his second goal of the year and a 2-1 Camel edge.

Campbell finished with a 16-14 edge in shots, while JU had 7 attempts on target compared to 5 for the Camels. Ethan Hall had three saves in the Camel nets; Zach Greenwald made two stops for JU.

The Camels continue their two-game road trip Saturday in a 5:00 p.m. kick-off at North Florida (3-8, 2-4), which defeated Mercer 2-1 in overtime Thursday night.
