PORTLAND, Ore.  –The Multnomah Campus of Jessup University built up a two-goal lead early and they would need the cushion multiple times, pulling out a 4-3 victory over Bushnell on Saturday in Cascade Collegiate Conference Action.
 
The Lions (6-5-2, 4-3-2 CCC) established their lead behind a pair of first-half goals from Paul Einero, and they would never trail. Bushnell climbed within one goal three separate times, but each time MCJU had an answer.
 
Francisco Cayolla scored first, right before the end of the first half, taking a feed from Caleb Premo as they trailed 2-1 at the intermission.
 
Premo scored a goal of his own in the 59th to make it a 3-2 defecit, and Ian Palma hit a penalty kick in the 71st minute.
 
Bushnell (6-5-3, 2-5-2 CCC) outshot the Lions 17-14 in the contest and had a 9-6 edge in shots-on-goal, but couldn't come up with the stops when they needed them.
 
"We saw some of the same issues that we have been having during today's match," said head coach Joao Ehlers. "We need to improve defensively on an individual and collective level."
 
The Beacons road schedule is now complete as the team comes home for their final two weekends. They will play host to The College of Idaho on Friday at 2:30 pm.
