Campbellsville soccer wins over Georgetown, 3-2 Click on headline for full story plus photo(s) By Chris Megginson Campbellsville University Sports Information Campbellsville, KY - An insurance goal in the 80th minute proved to be the game winner for Campbellsville University in a 3-2 Mid-South Conference win over Georgetown College on Thursday. But the meaning of Thursday's game was beyond soccer, as spectators joined the CU players in wearing pink to help bring awareness for breast cancer. While many teams across the nation join the cause each October to show their support for breast cancer awareness, it hits home for the Campbellsville men's soccer team, which has more than one player with a mother undergoing treatment for the disease in the past year. One of those is CU freshman Ryan Miller, whose mother, Charity Miller, was named a survivor last month. "It's been a struggle, but with all of my teammates here supporting me it lets me know I'm not alone through this," said Miller, who signed with the Tigers three days before his mother's surgery last spring. Charity spoke to the team and shared pre-game meal Thursday to help bring special focus to the issue. CU head coach Adam Preston, who wore bright pink socks exposed from his black warm up suit Thursday, was thankful that she took the time off work to be a part of the day."We've got some guys who are really struggling with it. Guys can be funny and goof off but not seek the help that they need. This was a chance to embrace the brotherhood that they have," Preston said. "She opened that door and allowed them to say out loud and put in the forefront that they're there for each other. It's super for her to take the time out of her day and leave work early and give the story that not only how she survived and struggled with it, but how God has used her through it." Through the game, CU players wore pink socks, shoe laces or used pink athletic tape. Miller wore a pink shirt under his jersey on which he wrote in black marker "I love you mom." He'd hoped to be able to flash the T-shirt after a goal. While he did not score in the win, he showed his family and the crowd his motion of love and support immediately following the game. "Being the only son, I want to show her that I love her so much and am proud that she got through it," said Miller. The freshman from Louisville also is glad to be a focal point for this year's Pink Out by the Tigers. ""I want people to know breast cancer's in so many people's lives. It's definitely a battle, but it shouldn't be something we dwell on. It's something we can fight and overcome," said Miller, who found it fitting that the night ended with a hard fought win. The win didn't come easy though. Jamie Allen netted his 16th goal of the season to give Campbellsville a 3-1 lead with 10:28 remaining. While the goal appeared to be an insurance goal, it proved crucial when CU was forced to hold on for the win. Georgetown's Austin Moman cut the lead in half with five minutes left in the game, and the CU Tiger defense blocked two shots in the final 10 seconds to secure the win. "We played poorly. We weren't ourselves," Preston said. "In spite of it, we fought and did the things we had to do to win the match, just barely. Credit Georgetown, though. Their record doesn't show how good of a team they are. They knew how to pressure us to get us to play outside of our game, but if we had wanted to take that game, we could have taken it from the beginning." CU first got on the board in the fourth minute when Allen was taken down in the box to set up a penalty kick. Gustavo Valecillos converted the PK into a 1-0 Campbellsville lead. However, Georgetown evened the score, 1-1, before halftime with a goal from Taylor Shaver. Campbellsville regained the lead in the 60th minute on a goal from Ramiro Sanchez. James Clements collected the win in the net for Campbellsville with two saves, as the CU back line and midfield prevented most of the Georgetown threats. Georgetown goalkeeper Steven Baumfaulk had six saves. -Chris Megginson This story was posted on 2010-10-23 02:48:38
