Braves March Past Saints In Non-Conference Victory

PEMBROKE – Maria Cancio gave the Braves all it would need in just the 2nd minute, but the hosts tacked on three more goals for good measure to take an impressive 4-0 win over Limestone in non-conference action Wednesday evening at LREMC Stadium.

Anna Grossheim, Eugenie Amidou, and Mercy Bell each tallied a goal, while Grossheim also added a pair of assists, with Shakira Kafero Roberts also tallying an assist on the opening goal.

The Braves (3-2-1, 2-0-1 CC) improved to 5-4-0 in the all-time series with the Saints (1-4-1, 0-2-0 SAC), while also putting a halt to a Limestone three-game win streak in the series.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
2' Shakira Kafero Roberts worked to get free and sent a centering pass to the foot of Maria Cancio, who found the back of the net from just inside the six-yard box to stake the Braves to a quick lead.
5' Anna Grossheim intercepted a Limestone pass, took two touches and fired a world-class strike over a leaping Saints goalkeeper from 30 yards out to give the Braves a 2-nil lead.
75' Grossheim's corner kick service found the head of Eugenie Amidou, who redirected it home from the edge of the six-yard box to push the lead to 3-nil.
90' Grossheim's played a long ball onto Mercy Bell, who beat a Limestone defender to get free for a shot and found the back of the net with just eight seconds remaining to make it a 4-0 result.
