Game Recap
  • A defensive mistake by the Eagles proved costly in the 27th minute as Wofford got on the board first
  • Villads Landsperg played a long ball as Nikolai Rojel gave chase and as Bryan Marshall and keeper Sam Bell came together the ball popped back at Rojel's feet who had a clear past to an open goal and placed a shot into the net
  • Wofford turned another through ball into a goal as Rojel was set free into space and inside the box, cut back on an Eagle defender and was brought down for a penalty
  • Rojel then stepped in and converted the penalty for a 2-0 lead in the 39th minute
  • The Eagles cut the Wofford lead in half in the 55th minute when Joe McGee dribbled his way into the box, fired a low shot that was saved directly at Aiden Williams who then scored into the open net
  • Rojel scored his third goal of the match in the 62nd minute when he dribbled in the box to the right of goal, cut back toward the middle and rifled a shot into the right corner
  • It was 4-1 late in the game when the Eagles netted their second goal of the match off a set piece
  • Williams took the free kick from about 30-35 yards out, curled it wide of the post to the keeper's right as Bryan Marshall headed it across goal and Ethan Marks ran on to poke it into the goal
Notables
  • The Terriers had an 11-10 edge in total shots, 7-4 advantage in shots on goal and each team finished with four corners
  • The goal for Williams was his second of the season and it was his first assist
  • The Eagles were able to go deep into its bench, making eight subs in the match with all playing at least 26 minutes and six playing 35 minutes or more
