HOW IT HAPPENED
Box Score/Play-by-Play

FIRST HALF
-The Braves wasted no time ramping up the pressure on the 'Canes, as the hosts uncorked a pair of shots in the 6th-minute.
-It was UNCP's fifth shot that broke the seal in the 23rd minute when Stacey Scott put her head on the end of a Kristina Stevenson corner kick and found the back of the net.
-Five more first-half shots gave the Braves 10 in the first 45 minutes and the Black & Gold held Georgia Southwestern without a shot in the first stanza.

SECOND HALF
-UNCP stayed relentless to start the second half and fired four shots in the first 13 minutes of play.
-The Black & Gold lead was doubled in the 62nd-minute, as Stacey Scott notched her second goal of the day following a pair of touches by Alexis Pittman and Shannon O'Neill.
-The third and final UNCP tally came early in the 89th-minute when the redshirt-junior Collins banged home a pass from Jillian Robson for her first-career goal in her 14th game played in a Braves' uniform.

NOTABLES
-The Braves have now outscored Georgia Southwestern 57-2 in the 12 all-time meetings between the squads.
-The lone 'Canes shot came in the 70th-minute to match a UNCP record for fewest shots allowed in a game. The other three instances came in the 2009 campaign.
-Thirteen Braves recorded at least one shot, paced by five from Scott and four from freshman Rilee Seering.
-Scott's goals were her second and third of the season to bring her even with Pittman for the team lead in points with eight.
-The assists from Stevenson and Pittman were the second of the season for each player, while O'Neill and Robson each picked up their first assists this year.
-Gina Ryan picked up her fifth win of the season in net, as the freshman played the first 65:27 in goal for the hosts. She did not face a shot on goal.
-The victory moves UNCP into a tie for second in the PBC standings with nine points and the Braves trial league-leading Flagler by just one point.
