Soccer Overcomes Early Deficit To Top Emmanuel

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – Emilia Dingwall's penalty kick goal just 99 seconds into the contest gave home-standing Emmanuel an early lead, but the UNC Pembroke soccer team scored three unanswered goals the rest of the way out to post a 3-1 victory over the Lions on Thursday afternoon at the Stephen Lee Complex.
 
The result marked the sixth-straight road win for the Braves (10-1-0, 6-0-0 CC) who now own the best 11-match start in the 22-year history of the program. Emmanuel (4-7-1, 3-4-0) fell to 0-3-0 all-time in the series with UNCP, but Thursday's matchup was the first-ever meeting with the Black & Gold in Franklin Springs, Ga.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
2' A foul near the top of the penalty area spawned a penalty kick attempt for Emmanuel, and Emilia Dingwall delivered with a rifle shot past Chiara Coppin to give the hosts the early advantage.
38' The Braves found their Equalizer nearly 36 minutes later when Naomi Fountain served a ball into the penalty area and Anna Grossheim finished with a one-timer into the back of the net.
48' UNCP took the lead for good just more than two minutes into the second stanza when Anna Grossheim found Ashleigh Harris in space and Harris punched a shot inside the left post.
70' Ashleigh Harris and Anna Grossheim turned the table with just more than 20 minutes left when Harris hit Grossheim in stride and the all-American finished with a laser shot past EC goalkeeper Hannah Thompson.
 
TOP BRAVES
+ Junior Anna Grossheim notched her fifth career multi-goal game, including her second-such outing this season (Converse, Sept. 7). Grossheim logged a match-best seven shots in Thursday's win, including six strikes on target.
+ Redshirt junior Ashleigh Harris has now scored at least one point (goal or assist) in five of the last seven matches, and came away with her second game-winning goal of the season on Thursday as well.
+ Redshirt junior Naomi Fountain has scored at least one point in four of her last five outings, tallying her third assist of the season. She was held without a shot for the first time in nine matches.
NOTABLES
+ UNCP has now captured six-straight road outings which matches the 2014 version of the Braves for the second-longest road win streak in program history. Last season's Black & Gold squad owns the school record with seven-straight road wins.
+ The Braves pushed their overall win streak out to nine matches with Thursday's result. The club has not tasted defeat in nearly a month, with their only setback of the campaign coming at Wingate on August 31.
+ The Black & Gold has surrendered just two goals in six matchups with Conference Carolinas opponents, and has held all six of those foes to seven shots or fewer. The Lions totaled just six shots on Thursday.
   
UP NEXT
The Braves will close out a three-match road trip on Wednesday when they make the short trip northeast to take on defending Conference Carolinas regular season champion Mount Olive (7-3-0, 5-0-0 CC) at Amon Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
