A pair of goals less than three minutes apart midway through the first half proved to be the only scoring on Sunday afternoon, but it was more than enough for Valparaiso as the Crusaders registered their second shutout of the season, 2-0, over Eastern Illinois at Lakeside Field in Charleston, Ill.

“I thought this was a good win today,” head coach John Marovich said after the match.  “I am really happy with the fact that despite coming off of our overtime match on Friday, we came out with a lot of energy to start.  We wrapped up a four-game road trip 2-1-1.  Any time you get seven points on the road during a trip like this is a real positive.”
