Men's Soccer defeats North Florida 1-0 on Johnson's goal

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - Khalil Johnson scored the game's lone goal and Campbell secured three vital points in the Atlantic Sun men's soccer race with a 1-0 victory Saturday at North Florida.

A senior from Kingston, Jamaica, Johnson took a pass from Brian Urioste in the 41st minute and launched a right-footed shot into the top left corner of the net.

Campbell (5-6-4, 3-4-0 A-Sun) moved into a tie with Mercer and Jacksonville for the fourth seed in the league tournament standings heading into the final two games of the A-Sun regular season. The Camels host Belmont Thursday and Lipscomb Saturday.

On Saturday, the Camels nearly jumped in front in the seventh minute on the first shot of the game when Justin Franz hit the post.

Johnson's strike was his second game-winner of the year and coupled with Ryan Amons' fifth shutout in goal, helped the Camels end a three-game losing streak. Amons finished with four saves in the nets.

UNF nearly equalized in the 51st minute when Patrik Lippe's shot was cleared off the line. Mitchell Cardenas's shot in the 80th minute could have doubled Campbell's margin, but it was also cleared out of danger.

Campbell finished with a 16-11 edge in shots, 6-5 in shots on goal. Andrew Calise finished with four saves for the Ospreys (3-9, 2-5). The game was delayed an hour due to the late arrival of officials.
