Soccer Sweeps Regular Season Series Against Francis Marion

FLORENCE, S.C. – UNC Pembroke saw Francis Marion rally back from a 2-0 deficit to knot the score at 2-2, but Aubrianna Martin delivered the game-winner in the 88th minute as the Braves took a crucial 3-2 win over the Patriots in Conference Carolinas action Saturday at Murray G. Hartzler Soccer Field.

Willow Price recorded a first-half brace for the second match in a row, while Klara Persson tallied her sixth assist of the season on Martin's game-winner.

The Braves (8-1-4, 7-0-3 CC) moved to 8-9-5 all-time against the Patriots (9-4-0, 7-2-0 CC), including three straight victories in the series.
