Box Score XENIA, Ohio - The Yellow Jackets halted a three-match losing streak with a 4-1 result over Malone in a G-MAC men's soccer game played at the Athletes in Action Complex.

Cedarville improved to 4-4-1 overall and 3-1-1 G-MAC. The contest was moved to the AIA turf after heavy rain earlier in the day left the Jackets' home field unplayable.

CU struck quickly as Connor Gilmour buried a shot just 35 seconds after kickoff. Jon Brown was credited with the assist.

It stayed that way until Brown scored unassisted in the 53rd minute, but Malone cut the deficit to 2-1 less than three minutes later.

John Schwien's first of the year from Bryce Childers provided some insurance in the 71st minute.

Childers headed home a corner from Conner Hughes in the 78th to ice it.

Graham Sachtleben notched his first career win in goal. He was called upon to make one save.

Quotable: Head Coach Brett Faro

"Tonight was an important team win. Conference games are all big and this one was no different. It was nice to see us create and execute a number of scoring opportunities.

"We had a better second half and played much more consistent than the first half. Hopefully, we can use tonight as a jumping off point. We've got a number of important conference matchups coming up and we will need to continue to be sharp to get results."
