CONWAY, Ark. – Blue Mountain Christian Men suffered a 1-0 shutout Thursday to Central Baptist in non-conference action.

The Blue Mountain defense was solid, as only three shots on goal were allowed by the Toppers, with keeper Alvaro Lopez notching two saves on just three shots on goal.
The loner that got by came late in the match, as the Mustangs' Daniel Pinkney found the net unassisted at the 73:15 mark.
The Toppers would get two shots from Matteus Valone early in the match, with his first traveling wide at 7:21 and his second being stopped by Gadellaa at 19:53.
Ruben Kuypers would have a look at the net at the 36:25 mark but was also handled by Gadellaa.  Kuypers shot again three minutes later but was again denied by Gadellaa.
Blue Mountain had a couple more tries with time running out on a shot by Thiago Ormeneze and later an offsides with 25 seconds left, but the Mustangs' defense held on for the win.
