How it Happened: 

  • Bridgewater scored two goals in the opening minutes of the affair. In the second minute, Luke Wendler ripped the first score of the contest off an assist from Jake Wagner. Alex Garbarino, assisted by Isaac Beals, added to the tally a minute later.

  • After a nearly seven-minute scoring drought, Piedmont put an end to their dry spell. The Lions scored on a man-up opportunity to get on the board. In the final minute of the first half, the Lions converted on another extra man opportunity, cutting down the Bridgewater lead to six. 

  • Wagner opened the second half with a goal assisted by Beals. Garbarino scored soon after on an extra man opportunity.

Match Notes 

  • Seven different players recorded a goal for the Eagles (Wendler, Wagner, Garbarino, Beals, Pinto, McKnight, Warren). 

  • Isaac Beals had a well-balanced diet in the stat sheet. The sophomore attacker recorded five points, coming from two goals and three assists. Beals also led the team in ground balls with six, and caused turnovers with four.  

  • Ian Cook played all 60 minutes in between the pipes for the Eagles for the second consecutive game. Cook recorded 14 saves. 

  • Bridgewater found themselves down a player on 12 occasions in the contest. Six of Piedmont's 7 points came from extra man opportunities. 

  • BC finished 2-0 in the Music City Classic. A 2-0 start to the regular season is the best for the Eagles since 2023.
