PEMBROKE – Ashleigh Harris provided the match's only goal with a header right before halftime, and the UNC Pembroke soccer team rallied behind a career day from goalkeeper Chiara Coppin to post a 1-0 victory over visiting Belmont Abbey on Saturday afternoon at Lumbee River EMC Stadium.
 
It was the 11th victory in the last 12 home outings for UNCP (11-2-0, 7-1-0 CC) who has now captured three-straight meetings in the 7-match-old series with the Crusaders. The result snapped a four-match road win streak for Belmont Abbey (5-5-2, 4-2-1) who has now dropped two of its last three outings.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
44' A corner kick from Anna Grossheim found the strong end of a brisk crosswind, but Ashleigh Harris was on the near side of the penalty area and redirected the service inside the near post.
