Game Recap
  • Both teams had multiple chances going forward in the half
  • Mercer let a couple of shots fly in the first 10 minutes but Jack Pondy positioned himself well to make routine saves
  • The Eagles did have three good looks in front of goal from about 6-8 yards that were missed opportunities
  • In the 10th minute Davis Bryan had a clean header off a corner kick that hit the crossbar and went out for a goal kick
  • In the 35th minute on an counter Joey Soeder made a run down the middle and received a cross as he couldn't quite catch up to the service and headed it wide
  • Charlie Ramirez had an open header at the near post off a corner just outside the six that went just high and wide of the top left corner
  • Mercer's Emmet Johnson opened the game's scoring in the 71st minute as he battled for the ball and after a couple of deflections found it sitting right in front of him just round the top of the 18 and he fired a shot into the top right corner
  • Leo Toledo Jr. made it 2-0 in favor of the Bears in the 76th minute when he scored on a counter
  • Toledo Jr. dribbled several yards as he made his way into the box and as he closed in on the goalkeeper and Winthrop defenders he buried a shot into the lower left corner
