PEMBROKE – Sophomore Anna Svensson and junior Rebecca Womack each scored first half goals for UNCP, and the Lady Braves held their opponent scoreless for the third-straight outing, to key a 2-0 victory over visiting Pfeiffer on Wednesday evening at Varsity Grounds. The shutout marked the fourth of the season for the Lady Braves who have yielded just three goals through seven contests.

The Lady Braves (5-1-1) took control of the match early when Faye Corbett assisted Svensson for a one-on-one situation in the box to bring the Lady Braves ahead of the Falcons (3-4-0) just 13 minutes into the game. The second goal came off a stolen pass by Womack who dribbled the ball a short distance before cashing in on the hosts' second and final score of the outing. UNCP outshot Pfeiffer 25-10 with Corbett posting a game-high five shots. Svensson and Sheena Mature added four shots apiece.

"Apart from not finishing many of our goal opportunities, we played very well tonight," said head coach Lars Andersson. "We have always been a team that possesses the ball, we build over the flanks, we get numbers in the box, and did very well with our passing to pressure the defense. Defensively, we played with heart and confidence on the field tonight."

Pfeiffer goalkeeper Jamie Alcala allowed both goals but had seven saves on the night. UNCP's goalkeepers, Britney Bennett and Rea Segoviano, split time in goal and combined for five saves after the defense stopped any real scoring threat on the night.

The Lady Braves will host Peach Belt Conference competitor Montevallo (2-4-0, 0-2-0 PBC) on Saturday at 5 p.m. during Parents Weekend at Varsity Grounds. Admission to all 2010 UNCP soccer home games is free.
