BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell secured an important three points in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings with a 7-0 victory Thursday night over Belmont at the Eakes Athletic Complex.

The Camels (6-6-4, 4-4-0 A-Sun) tied a school record for goals scored against an A-Sun opponent and exploded for their largest output since a 7-1 victory over Belmont on Nov. 13, 2008.

Keegan Terry and Khalil Johnson each scored twice, while Mitchell Cardenas had three assists for the Campbell, which won its second-straight game and notched its sixth shutout of the year.

A senior forward, Johnson launched 11 shots, 6 on target, and added an assist to raise his season tally to 11 points on five goals and one assist. Cardenas upped his totals to 14 points on 3 goals and 8 assists, while Terry netted his third and fourth strikes of the year.

Coupled with Mercer's 2-0 victory over Lipscomb Thursday night, Campbell moved into a three-way tie for fourth place in the league table and a tie for the third seed in next week's conference tournament entering Friday's action. East Tennessee State (7-2 A-Sun) has already secured one of the top two seeds, while Stetson follows at 5-2 heading into Friday's home game against North Florida.

The top two seeds will receive a first-round bye into the A-Sun semifinals (Nov. 11). The third and fourth seeds will host first-round matches against the fifth and sixth seeds on Sat., Nov. 6.

Campbell finished Thursday's outing with a 37-8 advantage in shots, including a 16-4 edge in attempts on goal. Belmont (6-10-0, 3-5-0) mustered just one shot on goal in the opening half.

"We've created these chances all year, but tonight things just clicked for our team," said Campbell head coach Steve Armas. "Hopefully, we'll be able to build on this performance going forward."

After applying pressure for the first 20 minutes, Campbell jumped in front with a pair of goals in a 2:30 span.

Freshman defender Aleksi Tossavainen scored his first career goal on a header from Cardenas' corner kick in the 24th minute on CU's 10th shot (and fourth corner) of the half.

In the 26th minute, Khalil Johnson found Keegan Terry open at the top of the area and the sophomore's right-footed strike caromed off the left post and into Wesley Wray's net for his third goal of the season.

Johnson nearly added a third CU goal in the 39th minute on a dipping right-footed smash that Wray had to punch down to be cleared for a corner. Just a minute later, Johnson sprinted down the left flank with the ball; then crossed to Terry, whose sharp header was just high of Wray's bar.

Campbell ended the opening half with a 19-2 advantage in shots, 6-1 in attempts on goal.

Belmont saw a near chance to cut the lead in half slip by in the 57th minute. Brandon Tarr turned and dribbled by the Camel back four to the edge of the box, but before the sophomore striker could get a shot away, Tossavainen tackled the ball out of danger.

Johnson nearly added to the lead in the 65th minute with a left-footed smash outside the box that beat Wray, but was cleared off the line by Alex Jenison at the right post.

Terry's header from Cardenas' free kick pushed the advantage to 3-0 in the 70th minute. Cardenas found Johnson with a long diagonal ball just three minutes later and the Jamaican deposited the ball into the top right corner of Wray's net.

Just over five minutes later, Justin Franz sent a pass down the left flank to Johnson, who cut back, then lofted the ball over back-up keeper Juho Illi and into the net.

Only 35 seconds elapsed before Justin Smith converted a Belmont turnover into a 30-yard rip into the upper right corner. Freshman Adrian Mosquera then scored his first career goal in the 87th minute after a failed clearance from a corner kick fell to his feet and the New Jersey native turned and deposited a right-footed shot into the lower left corner.

Camel keeper Ryan Amons posted his sixth shutout of the year while making four saves.

The victory was Campbell's seventh-straight over the Bruins and extended CU's lead in the all-time series to 9-2

Campbell ran the best record in A-Sun regular season play since 2005 to 36-9-5 and improved to 24-5-3 in its last 32 games during the month of October.

The Camels host Lipscomb Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in the final home contest for five CU seniors -- J.P. Blosser, Eric Debrah, Ronnie Hinton, Khalil Johnson and Ben York. CU will also present its annual team honors -- the Jim McVeigh Award (most promising freshman) and Glen Brewster Memorial Award for leadership and courage.
