Braves, Patriots Battle To Draw Once Again

FLORENCE, S.C. – After a scoreless first half, Francis Marion's Tehya Dave put the Patriots ahead in the 48th minute, but Sarah Bonifant's first career goal in the 56th minute gave the Braves the equalizer, as the two squads battled to a 1-1 draw for the second time this season in Conference Carolinas action Saturday evening at Hartzler Field.

Anna Grossheim picked up the assist on Bonifant's goal.

The Braves (6-2-3, 5-0-3 CC) moved to 5-7-5 in the all-time series with the Patriots (6-1-3, 5-0-2 CC), while the two squads have now played to a draw in five consecutive series meetings.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
48' FMU's Le'Landra Jarvis played a cross near post that deflected off a UNCP defender and went right to the foot of Tehya Dave, who blasted it home from just inside the six-yard box to give the Patriots a 1-nil lead.
56'  Anna Grossheim's beautiful free kick service found the head of Sarah Bonifant, who redirected it home from the edge of the six-yard box to find the equalizer.
