Soccer Edged On The Road By Limestone

Gaffney, S.C. – A UNC Pembroke foul in the box in the 86th minute led to Limestone's game-winning penalty kick Wednesday night, as the Saints upended the Braves 2-1. Anna Grossheim tied the game for the Black & Gold, but was ultimately the only goal the Braves could muster. UNCP doubled up Limestone in the shot department (18-9), but could only get five on frame for the match.
 
The result gave Limestone (1-2-0, 0-0-0 SAC) a 5-4 edge in the all-time series with UNC Pembroke (2-2-0, 1-0-0 CC), while also winning the third-straight contest in the series. 
 
SCORING SUMMARY
21' Limestone's Lucie Bertrand opened the scoring with a well-placed strike from the edge of the box to put the Saints ahead.
74' The Braves struck back with an unbelievable effort from senior Anna Grossheim, taking control 40 yards out, outrunning a defender up the left side, and firing a perfect strike past the keeper to tie the match.
86' Limestone's Ellie Mills was successful on her PK, giving the Saints the lead for good.
