Clean sheet for @CUSoccer in debut

Box Score INDIANAPOLIS - Connor Gilmour scored twice to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 victory over Bellarmine in the first game of 2015 for both schools.

Aaron Plummer added the third goal as Cedarville moved to 5-0-1 in its last six season openers.

The Jackets needed less than five minutes to get on the board when Gilmour tallied from newcomer John Schwien. He made it 2-0 on an assist from Michael Auld in the 32nd.

It stayed that way until Aaron Plummer lofted in a 45-yard free kick with exactly eight minutes left.

Paulo Pinto was called upon to make just one save, but he was credited with the shutout. He received some help from the pipes when the Knights ricocheted one off the crossbar with just 25 seconds left.

Quotable: Head Coach Brett Faro

"I thought it was fantastic to start the year off with a good win against a talented Bellarmine side. I thought they gave us trouble at times and I was happy with the way our back line responded today.

"With the heat the way it is and the quality of opponents here this weekend, it's important to find ways to get results and I was happy we were able to do that.

"We have things we have to continue to improve upon, but we're happy to come away with a win. We need to do a good job preparing for a tough test against UIndy on Saturday."
