Box Score ELKINS, W.Va. - Davis & Elkins made an early goal stand up for a 1-0 victory over Cedarville in a Great Midwest Athletic Conference tussle.
The Senators netted a free kick in the 18th minute and that's all they needed for their second straight shutout.
D&E, 3-5-2 overall and 1-4-2 G-MAC, pocketed their first conference win of the season at the expense of the Jackets, 8-3-1 and 5-2 G-MAC.
The hosts outshot CU 6-5 in the first half, but the Yellow Jackets dominated the final 45 minutes with an 11-2 shot margin. However, they failed to score for just the second time this season.
Paulo Pinto played all 90 minutes in goal and made two saves.
Quotable: Head Coach
Brett Faro"Obviously, we're disappointed in the result. We gave up an early goal on a free kick and it can be tough playing from behind especially on the road.
"The guys responded and I thought we outplayed them the rest of the game. We just couldn't score. It's time to regroup and prepare for AB on Saturday."
