Macon, Ga. -- In the second evening match of the Atlantic Sun Men's Soccer Tournament, No. 3 Mercer routed No. 6 Belmont, 4-0, in the most lopsided tournament loss since 1999 to advance to the semifinals tomorrow.

The Bears limited the Bruins to only one scoring opportunity that came in the first half.

Mercer will face No. 2-seeded Stetson tomorrow at 7 pm.
