WILMINGTON, N.C. –  Shawn Guderian scored two second-half goals and UNC Wilmington defeated Campbell 3-1 Tuesday night in the men’s soccer season opener for both teams.

 
Guderian’s strikes in the 49th and 67th minutes came during a stretch where the Seahawks out-shot the Camels 6-0 and helped UNCW end a four-match losing streak against its Eastern North Carolina rival.

 
UNCW went in front just 3:26 into the second half on Guderian’s goal in the box.  Nassim Berhouni and Etienne Boulinger set up the play.  His strike in the 67th minute off Christian Davidson’s cross marked the most goals the Seahawks have scored against Campbell since a 3-2 win at Buies Creek in 2002.

 
The Seahawks took the lead in the 16th minute on Brian Harrison’s volley off Shaun Utterson’s corner kick.

 
Camel freshman Mitchell Cardenas equalized with his first career goal in the 24th minute on a counter attack off Vince Petrasso’s short cross.

 
In a match-up of two defending regular season conference champions, UNCW (Colonial Athletic Association) held a 19-6 advantage in shots over Campbell (Atlantic Sun), including a 12-4 margin in attempts on target.

 
Tuesday’s contest marked the 44th between the Camels and the Seahawks.  Campbell owns a 24-19-1 edge all-time over UNCW.

 
Camel senior Ted Awana finished with eight saves in his first career Division I start.  Brandon Miller made three stops for the Seahawks.

 
Campbell returns to action with its home opener on Saturday in a 7:00 p.m. kick-off against William & Mary.
