Bell Helps Lead Soccer Past Chowan

MURFREESBORO – The Braves wasted no time Saturday afternoon, as Mercy Bell took a ball from Anna Grossheim and found the back of the net in the 2nd minute to start the scoring in UNCP's 3-0 win over Chowan in Murfreesboro. Ashleigh Harris scored her first goal of the season, before Bell added her second goal of the match to round out the scoring.

Abigail Lowry tallied two assists for the Black & Gold, while Anna Grossheim recorded one assist.

The Braves (5-3-1, 4-1-1 CC) moved to 10-1-0 all-time against the Hawks (1-5-0, 1-3-0 CC), and have won the last ten matches against Chowan since their defeat in the very first meeting in 2002.

2' Anna Grossheim played a long ball to Mercy Bell, who dribbled around the Chowan goalkeeper that was off her line, and finished into a wide open net to start the scoring.
15' Ashleigh Harris took control of an Abigail Lowry deflected shot, then found an opening between two defenders to find the back of the net.
