The Black and Gold’s Daniel Bougt scores his first career goal against Pfeiffer.

Senior Rondell Honora led the Braves with six shots on goal, as UNCP held possession of the ball for the first part of the game.

That would be when Queens took advantage of two Braves’ errors to score its only goals of the game in the 18th and 26th minutes.

Tyker Dunmyer scored the first goal for Queens at the 17:43 mark, off a header from a corner kick by Jonathan Grajeda.

The Royals followed their first goal with another by Jeremy Chambers at the 25:09 mark later in the game.

Grajeda assisted on both goals for Queens.

Four different Braves took shots on goal during the game, with sophomore Carlos Cipriano and senior Diego Castillo following Honora with three shots and two shots on goal respectively.

In the second half, the Black and Gold outshot Queens 6-1 to open up the second frame, but again the offense was unable to convert to try to pull even with the Royals.

Defensively, UNCP goalkeeper Dean Moore saved three shots by the Royals.

With the win, Queens has now won four games in a row against the Braves, and are now a perfect 6-0-0 against the Braves in games played at UNCP.
