10.22.2024 | Men's Soccer
CLINTON, S.C. – A late goal by Aysa Hamid lifted UNC Asheville Men's Soccer past Presbyterian for a huge 2-1 road win in Big South Conference play Tuesday night (Oct. 22).
After Presbyterian broke the ice in the second minute, Asheville would turn up the pressure offensively before Brendan Herb would draw a penalty in the Presbyterian goal box in the 27th minute. The captain stashed home his third goal of the season, 10th of his Bulldog career and fifth penalty kick goal of his career to tie the match 1-1. The teams traded offensive chances in the later stages of the first half, with the score still tied at the break.
The teams traded chances in each other's ends all the way until the final horn, but the Bulldogs held the 6-4 shot edge in the second half. In the 87th minute, a ball played forward found the feet of Edvin Grolimund, who fed the ball forward for a hard-charging Hamid. Hamid blasted the ball into the back of the net on his first touch for his second goal of the season and sixth of his Bulldog career, the second game-winner of his career. The assist was Grolimund's third of the season and sixth of his Asheville career.
Asheville outshot Presbyterian 14-10 in the match with each team recording five shots on goal, while Presbyterian won the corner kick battle 8-4 in the contest. Seth Hammond paced the Bulldogs with four shots in the contest, while Herb, Grolimund and Hamid each had two shots in the match. Benian Yao, Louis Beckett, Xander Naguib and Conor Behan each recorded one shot in the contest for the Bulldogs. Charlie Farrar (5-3-3) recorded three saves between the pipes for his 15th win as a Bulldog and his 34th career win.
The Bulldogs (5-3-3, 1-2-1 Big South Conference) return to action on Saturday (Oct. 26) at Longwood in Big South Conference action. Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m. from Farmville, Va. with video and live stats available at www.uncabulldogs.com.
