BARRINGTON, Ill. - Olivet Nazarene University made the most of their first opportunity at a CCAC Tournament Championship as they held off Judson University, 1-0, to earn the automatic bid to the NAIA National Tournament. Olivet Nazarene's Nigel Dillard gave the Tigers the only goal they would need in the 38^th minute.

Olivet Nazarene went on the attack in the first half out shooting Judson, 8-4. In the first 11 minutes of the half, Olivet had four shots to Judson's one with three on goal. It was not until the eighth shot of the half that finally went in for the one-goal advantage. Judson's Alex Tyton batted the ball away but Dillard was in the right place as he caught Tyton out of position for the lone goal.

The offensive pressure came in the second half from Judson as they took 12 shots. In the 60^th minute of the match it looked as though the advantage might go Judson's way as Olivet Nazarene's goalie Kenny Huber was red carded. This set up a free kick just outside of the box but Judson did not get a shot off through the wall of Olivet Nazarene defenders. Olivet Nazarene then played a man down the rest of the half.

In the next 30 minutes, Judson fired eight shots at new goalie Matt Walker. Walker responded by stopping all four shots on goal. Olivet Nazarene packed in their defense and Judson could not find a way to get the ball into the net.

The win gives Olivet Nazarene University their first-ever CCAC Tournament Championship in their first-ever appearance. The win also ends Judson's five-year reign in the CCAC Tournament and NAIA National Tournament. Olivet Nazarene has now defeated Judson in their last three matchups all 1-0.

Olivet Nazarene will now wait to see where they will be seeded in the NAIA National Tournament First Round match.
