DAYTON, Ohio - No. 3 seed Cedarville blanked No. 2 Ohio Valley, 3-0, in a bizarre G-MAC Tournament Semifinal played at Roger Glass Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets, 12-2-6, move on to play defending champion Tiffin, 10-4-5, in Saturday's championship at 2:30 p.m. EST.

The No. 4 seed Dragons upset top seed and United Soccer Coaches No. 4 Lake Erie, 2-1, in double overtime in the other semi.

Cedarville took a 1-0 lead when Levi Haight was taken down in the penalty area in the 14th minute and Sammy Kilimann converted the PK.

Then came the second half. The Fighting Scots were issued three red cards in a span of 31 seconds early in the period and were forced to play three men down for the final 37 minutes.

The Jackets took advantage. Pedro Alvares scored on a breakaway in the 63rd minute with Mauricio Ochoa Vazquez assisting.

Vazquez scored three minutes later into an open net from 35 yards when OVU had brought everyone forward including the keeper.
