Soccer On Wrong End Of Road Bout With Wingate

WINGATE – Unbeaten Wingate scored a pair of goals just more than seven minutes apart in the opening half, and then added an insurance score just less than 14 minutes into the second period, to fuel a 3-0 victory over the visiting UNC Pembroke soccer team on Wednesday afternoon at Pride Park.
 
The result marked the first setback of the season for the Braves (1-1-0) who have not tasted victory on the road in the series since a 2-0 triumph in 2007. Wingate (3-0-0) has now posted victories in eight-straight home games dating back to last season, and improved to 5-2-1 all-time against the Black & Gold in Wingate as well.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
25' The Bulldogs got the scoring started on Sophie Husted's eventual game-winner that was set up by an assist from Caroline Peters.
32' Wingate struck again just more than seven minutes later when Alicia Rubio Garcia punched in the first of her two goals off of an assist from Brianna Ditillo.
59' Ditillo created another opportunity for Rubio Garcia again with 31-1/2 minutes left to play, and the Spain native capped the scoring in the match when she punched a strike past UNCP keeper Chiara Coppin.
