Muskegon, MI---Bjion Campbell scored three goals as the Express men's soccer team picked up a big 3-0 win on the road over Muskegon Community College today.

Campbell, who also had two shots hit the crossbar in the first half, put the Express on the board in the 26th minute. He took a pass from Vijay Gentles and shot a ball that deflected off the goalie's hands and into the net.

The Express took that 1-0 lead into the break thanks in large part to some nice saves from goalkeeper Joshua Kleinow, who started and played the entire game.

Five minutes into the second half, Campbell broke free up the middle of the field to put the Express up 2-0. He added his third in the 60th minute on a pass from Troy Watson

Logan Holland played the first 75 minutes in goal for Muskegon. He saved six shots, while Jacob Benews made one save in 15 minutes.
