Plummer strikes down Panthers, 1-0

Box Score DAYTON, Ohio - Aaron Plummer's goal in the 86th minute provided Cedarville a 1-0 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan in a late night G-MAC contest played at Wright State University.

The site was moved to the artificial turf at the Raiders' Alumni Field when afternoon thunderstorms and heavy rain made the Yellow Jackets' home venue unplayable. Kickoff was at 9:30 p.m. EDT.

Cedarville, 2-1-1 and 1-0-1 G-MAC, finally capitalized late in the match. A cross deflected out to Plummer at the top of the box, who one-timed his second career goal into the net.

The Yellow Jackets had the advantage statistically by outshooting the Panthers 15-3 overall and 9-2 on goal. They also enjoyed an 11-2 margin in corner kicks.

Paulo Pinto played all 90 minutes in goal with two saves.

Quotable: Head Coach Brett Faro

"Tonight was a good team win for the guys. Second games in a weekend are always tough and today was certainly not ideal for either team.

"Kentucky Wesleyan is a very organized team and they made it hard for us to do some of the things we wanted to do offensively. I am proud of how the guys continued to be patient and create opportunities.

"Also, it was a great night on the defensive end of things. We've been working hard defensively and to get a shutout was an important step for us."

Five Facts:
  • Plummer's other career goal came in the 2015 season opener vs. Bellarmine.
  • CU is 8-0 all-time vs. Kentucky Wesleyan with a 26-2 margin in goals scored.
