Belmont Abbey midfielders Christian Ocampo and Brian Souza scored the first two goals of the match as the Crusaders earned its fourth win in their last five matches as the Abbey earned a 2-1 win at Pfeiffer this afternoon. The Abbey, winners of two straight, improve to 8-4-0 overall and 3-1-0 in Conference Carolinas, while the Falcons fall to 6-5-0 overall and 2-2-0 in conference play.

Despite being outshot 10-5 in the match, the Crusaders posted the first two goals as Ocampo put the Abbey ahead 1-0 at the 21:20 mark, firing home his second goal of the year with an assist from Luis Arrietta.

Nine minutes later, at exactly 30:00, Souza scored his second goal of the season, with an assist from Paul Goding, for what turned out to be the game-winning goal. For the second year in a row, Souza scored the game-winner against the Falcons, as he scored the golden goal against Pfeiffer last season in an overtime thriller at Alumni Field.

Pfeiffer would cut the lead in half at the 77:30 mark on a Davi Lorezno tally, but the Crusaders defense would make the lead stand up as the Crusaders earned the win.

The Abbey registered five corner kicks to just none for Pfeiffer. Abbey goalkeeper Bryan Alenky made five saves.
