CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- Campbellsville University men's soccer improved its record to 13-4-1 on Tuesday, Oct. 30, with a 5-0, cold and misty Senior Night victory over Brescia University at Citizen's Bank Field in Finley Stadium.

Campbellsville started all five varsity seniors before scoring in the 32nd minute off of a corner kick. Yngve found the head of junior defender John Kennedy of Lochgilphead, Scotland for the first goal of the contest.

The Tigers found the net again just a minute later when freshman forward Roraigh Yearwood found the net from around 12 yards out. Campbellsville led 2-0.

Campbellsville's third goal of the contest came in the last minute of the first half, when freshman forward Camilo Roman dribbled into open space inside the box, drawing the Bearcat keeper out of the goal.
