PEMBROKE – Anna Grossheim started the scoring in the 8th minute, Cora Taylor ended the scoring in the 89th minute, while six other Braves got in on the action in between, as UNC Pembroke (4-3-1, 3-1-1 CC) took care of Barton (1-3-2, 1-2-1 CC) 8-1 on Wednesday night at LREMC Stadium. 

Anna Grossheim notched two goals and an assist, while Abigail Lowry, Eugenie Amidou, Bea Vazquez, Mercy Bell, and Maria Cancio all scored goals for the Braves. Bell and Taylor also registered assists to go along with their goals, while Ashleigh Harris, Ilaya Bigford, and Devyn Hart also tallied assists for the Black & Gold.

58' Ilaya Bigford headed a corner kick service to Eugenie Amidou, who fired a one-touch strike just past the endline to start the 2nd half barrage of goals.
