Box Score ELKINS, W.Va. - Jon Brown and Derek Braak tallied early in the second half to propel the #3 seed Yellow Jackets to a 2-1 win over #2 Ohio Valley in a G-MAC Tournament semifinal.

Three-time defending champion Cedarville, 11-6-3, will face #4 Alderson Broaddus, 10-7-2, for the second consecutive year in Saturday's final. Kickoff at Davis & Elkins College is slated for 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Following a scoreless first half, Brown scored just 66 seconds into the final period with Bryce Childers assisting.

Brown received the ball at the left corner of the penalty area, beat an OVU defender, and then slid it underneath the keeper from 10 yards out inside the far post.

Braak provided some cushion unassisted in the 51st minute with a near carbon copy of Brown's goal for a 2-0 lead.

He dribbled from just beyond the left side of the box, maneuvered around two defenders, and poked it under the keeper far post.

The Fighting Scots broke the shutout in the 72nd minute, but CU was able to withstand the pressure. Paulo Pinto made one save in goal.
