MISHAWAKA, Ind. – The Golden Eagles kicked off the 2019 campaign on Thursday evening in Indiana against Bethel. The Pilots came out firing right out of the gate, outshooting the Golden Eagles 10-0 in the first half en route to a commanding 5-0 shutout of the young CU team. 

Notable:

• After opening the scoring with 16 minutes to go in the first half, the Pilots doubled their lead just seconds before halftime.
• Christian Galloway tallied the lone shot on goal for the Golden Eagles in his return to the field after missing most of last season with a leg injury. 
• Bethel scored three goals in the final 20 minutes to put the game away. 
• The five Bethel goals were scored by five different players.
