Braves Grind Out 2-0 Win Over Young Harris

PEMBROKE – Mercy Bell got UNCP going early with a goal in the 2nd minute, Eugenie Amidou converted a successful penalty in the 9th minute, while the Braves defense battled to turn in a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Young Harris on LREMC Appreciation Day on Saturday afternoon.

Shakira Kafero Roberts tallied the assist on Bell's goal, and then later drew the foul that led to Amidou's PK goal.

The Braves (5-2-2, 4-0-2 CC) moved to 11-0-0 in the all-time series with the Mountain Lions (3-5-1, 3-1-1 CC), and have now recorded shutouts in three straight matches in the series.
