Mercer Defeats Wofford 2-1 in Thrilling Comeback Victory Sunday
10/1/2017 5:02:00 PM | Women's Soccer
MACON, Ga. – Mercer's women's soccer team rallied to a 2-1 triumph over the Wofford Terriers Sunday afternoon at Bear Field.
Â
STAT OF THE MATCH
Mercer outshot their opponent 23-16, with 11 shots on target.
Â
WOMAN OF THE MATCH
Sophomore midfielder Jasmine Spence netted her second career goal, a game-winner in the 70th minute.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Action was packed from the start of the match. In the first minute of play, Ally Fordham nearly headed one in goal but sent the ball just over the crossbar.
Â
The Terriers struck first in the match when the nation's leading goal scorer, Hayley Younginer, snuck one past goalkeeper Jordyn Ebert in the 13th minute.
Â
The Bears' midfielder Jasmine Spence nearly equalized the match in the 37th minute, firing one towards goal but was denied by the crossbar.
Â
In the 41st minute a penalty was awarded to Mercer due to a hand ball by the Terriers inside the box. Logan Culver took the kick for the Bears but Wofford's goalkeeper Alex Carroll guessed right on the attempt and made the save.
Â
Moments later another penalty was awarded to the Bears, once again for a hand ball. Alexius Hill connected on the kick to equalize the match at 1-1 just before the half.
Â
Neither team had a real chance at goal in the second half until Sarah Adcock fired one off the post in the 63rd minute.
Â
In the 70th minute Spence scored the game-winner, her second career goal, assisted by Hayley Moore and Logan Culver.
Â
The Bears' defense held strong as they prevailed 2-1 to pick up their second Southern Conference victory of the season.
Â
NOTABLES
• Goalkeeper Jordyn Ebert earned five saves on the afternoon and is now 6-4-0 while protecting the net.
• The Bears had 23 shots on the day with 11 coming on goal.
• Eight different players had multiple shots on the day for the Bears.
• Jasmine Spence provided a solid spark off the bench, playing 30 minutes for Mercer, tallying three shots and the game-winner.
Â
RECORDS UPDATE
• Mercer: 8-5-0 (2-1-0)
• Wofford: 5-6-1 (1-2-1)
Â
QUOTABLES
 "We've had some great battles with Wofford during my time here. Credit them; they got a goal in the first half but our team responded very well. We had great energy today and we had great effort from the entire team. We stuck to the game plan; we kept creating chances and we were fortunate to put two away. I would have liked to have had a third insurance goal, but overall, I was happy with our team's effort coming off a tough loss Friday night to Furman." --Head Coach Tony Economopolous
Â
NEXT MATCH
• The Bears take to the road their next time out to face Southern Conference foe Western Carolina Friday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. in Cullowhee, N.C.
