Box Score UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - Saginaw Valley's goal midway through the first half held up for a 1-0 non-conference result over Cedarville in the season opener for both sides.

"I'm proud of our effort today even though we came up short against a very good SVSU team. They had the better of the play and really limited our chances.

"We will learn and move forward quickly as we now have to prepare for Northwood on Saturday."
