MISHAWAKA, Ind. — The Bethel Pilots (5-0-1) take down RV Indiana Tech 4-1 at home to maintain a nearly unblemished record of 2-0-1.

Andres Lucumi scored his first goal of the season in the 30th minute to break the silence before the half.

The next blow came from Miguel Martins, who scored on a pass in the box from Luan Bressy to give the Pilots a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute, and Bressy tacked on the third goal in the 70th minute unassisted by stealing the ball just outside of the opposing box.

The Pilots scored again in the 75th minute from Julian Vargas Talamantes’s stealthy moves in the box to cap off the 4-0 lead.

Indiana Tech did not leave scoreless as the Warrior’s Douglas Appiah scored in the 78th minute off an assist by David Ambaek.
