Braves Battle To Tie Against Francis Marion

FLORENCE, S.C. – Ashleigh Harris and Bea Vazquez each scored first-half goals to lead to a tied match at halftime, but neither team could find the game-winner in the second half as UNC Pembroke and Francis Marion battled to a 2-2 draw Saturday afternoon in Florence, S.C. 

Harris tallied her second goal in as many games before Vazquez recorded her third of the year 15 minutes later.

The Braves (5-3-2, 4-1-2 CC) moved to 5-7-2 in the all-time series against the Patriots (6-2-2, 3-1-2 CC) while also recording a draw for the second straight season, after the 1-1 tie in Pembroke in 2022.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
4' FMU's Jordan White headed down a free kick to Ashley Jordan, who then played a through ball to Kristina Syragakis who found the back of the net to start the scoring.
10' Ashleigh Harris took control of a loose ball, dribble through two defenders, and fired a perfect strike from 20 yards out to deadlock the match at 1-1.
25' A loose ball found the left foot of Bea Vazquez, who one timed it from just outside the top of the box past a diving goalkeeper to give the Braves a 2-1 lead.
