Junior defender Derek Cook picked up a goal for the third straight game to open the season on a tear, scoring off a corner kick in the 43rd minute of action. His unassisted score got the Captains on the board, but CNU trailed the Battling Bishops, 2-1, halfway through the second half.

Junior Jordan Boone picked up the winner, scoring on a one-on-one opportunity.
