Second Half Goals Lift Seahawks Over Longwood

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Freshman forward Emil Elveroth and junior midfielder Ben Fisher each scored a goal in the second half as No. 15 UNCW posted a 2-0 victory over Longwood at UNCW Soccer Stadium on Friday evening.

The Seahawks, who were playing their second home game of the season, upped their record to 4-1-0 while the Lancers dropped to 0-2-1 after being shut out for the second straight game.

Elveroth gave UNCW a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute when he took advantage of a Longwood turnover and scored the first goal of his college career past sophomore goalkeeper Lance Da Silva.

With 10:11 remaining, Fisher increased the margin to 2-0 when he netted his second goal of the year after receiving a pass from junior midfielder Matt Gianfortone.

Led by redshirt junior goalkeeper Ryan Cretens, who had two saves, the Seahawks limited Longwood to a season-low five shots.

Da Silva made four saves in the loss for the Lancers.   

Game Notes:
