Box Score PENSACOLA, Fla.—The Christian Brothers University Bucs won their second consecutive Gulf South Conference championship Sunday with a resounding 5-1 win over Delta State at Brosnaham Park.

The offensive assault started early for the Bucs (11-7-1), beginning in the sixth minute when Michael Hollier (Lafayette, La./Teurlings HS) fired a volley into the net from the top of the 18-yard box.  Jose Ferraz (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/) doubled the lead in the 14th minute as he scored on a sliding shot off a cross from Nico Alvarez-Garcia (Oviedo, Spain/Dr. Fleming).  The Statesmen (8-11-1) pulled within one in the 26th minute when Sebastian Ridout scored off the rebound after Jaime Garcia (San Salvador, El Salvador/Lincoln School) saved a Steven Simmons free kick.

The Bucs put it out of reach with a quick burst midway through the second half.  In the 69th minute, Tony Aloia (Hallsville, Texas/Hallsville HS) headed a DSU goal kick forward, serving as a perfect through-ball to Matt Derise (Lafayette, La./St. Thomas More HS), who scored one-on-one against the keeper to extend the lead to 3-1.  In the 74th minute, Aloia and Derise combined to set up another CBU goal.  Aloia chased a long ball into the corner and dropped a pass to Derise.  Derise sent a cross into the middle for Neil Cummings (Belfast, Northern Ireland/St. Malachy's College), who headed it into the left side of the net.

In the 87th minute, senior William McAllister (Collierville, Tenn./Collierville HS) set the final margin as he scored his first goal at CBU.  Adam Thornton (Vicksburg, Miss./St. Aloysius HS) crossed a pass to Jared Roberts (Fort Worth, Texas/Nolan Catholic HS) at the back post, and Roberts fed a pass to McAllister for the score.

Andrew Ballard (Memphis, Tenn./Briarcrest Christian HS), David Skull (Adelaide, Australia/Woodcroft College), and Adamandios Toras (Meitarie, La./Archbishop Rummel HS) earned spots on the All-Tournament Team.  DSU's Simmons won the Most Outstanding Player award.
