BOX SCORE

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Two goals in the first 12 minutes of the second half by Madonna forward Ryan Montague (St. Mary, Jamaica/Oracabessa HS) led the Crusaders to a 2-1 win over No. 23 Bellevue (Neb.) on Monday afternoon at the Point Loma Nazarene Soccer Classic.

Bellevue struck first at the 38:37 mark in the first half when a shot by Casey Friend landed in the back of the net off an assist by Tom White.

With Bellevue leading 1-0 at the half, the Crusaders received a spark from Montague when he scored on a breakaway at the 46:09 mark in the second period.

Montague would score again at the 56:48 mark in the second half off a pass from Pat Griffin (Redford, MI/Catholic Central HS) which led to another breakaway score. 

Ryan Mathe (Ypsilanti, MI/Ypsilanti HS) would keep Bellevue scoreless in the second half, earning his first win in net for the Crusaders.

Madonna finishes its trip to California with a 2-0-1 record and will return to action on Wednesday when the Crusaders host defending WHAC tournament champion Davenport in 4:00 p.m. conference tilt at Greenmead Field.
