Kade Jenkins' record-tying fifth shutout of the season, Jaime Delor's 25th goal and the Bears' tenacious defense combined for a huge 1-0 home win over the Pearl River Wildcats in MACJC South Division soccer action Wednesday afternoon.
 
Jenkins had 13 saves in tying Bryant Boyington's team record for the most shutouts in a season as the Bears moved to 11-4 and, at 4-4, into third place in the South with two games remaining (the top three teams in each division advance to the league playoffs). The win avenged an early-season overtime loss at Pearl River.
 
The teams were deadlocked in a 0-0 tie until 79:52 of the game when Delor scored from 20 yards out after making a splitting run between the Pearl River (5-8, 3-5 South) defenders and taking a through ball from Joey Barrick.
 
A defense that had played tough the entire game then held fast for the remainder of the game as the Bears went on to record the victory.
 
"Obviously," said Bears' head coach Zach Mills, "facing my predecessor (former Bears head coach Drew Gallant is now the head coach at Pearl River) and coming out with a 'W' on our home turf feels incredible. And it's just another testament to our guys and our team knowing that we can do whatever we want as long as we put the work in."
 
"I'm so glad Kade was making some big saves today," Mills went on. "Jaime was just pushing, pushing, pushing and couldn't find the back of the net, but finally slotted one home. I'm so proud of him and the entire team for just putting it all out there; giving it their all every day in practice, knowing this game was so important and getting ready for it mentally and physically."
 
On Saturday, the Bears take to the road for the last time in the regular season as they take on South Division foe Mississippi Gulf Coast in Perkinston. The game is scheduled for a 6:00 kickoff.
