The Bears got the scoring started in the 17^th minute when a throw-in into the penalty area found Conner Antley who crossed it to Jake Mezei at the far post who buried it behind Matthew Reynolds. Just over a minute later Mercer added to their lead in a similar fashion when Antley found Will Bagrou in the box who headed it just over the outstretched arms of Matthew Reynolds increasing the halftime lead to two.
 
The Terriers continued to generate offensive opportunities in the second half but the ball continued to bounce Mercer's way. In the 49^th minute Mercer sent a corner kick into the box that Matthew Reynolds punched incidentally into the Terrier net.

Wofford responded just thirty seconds later when Jack Sicker dribbled down the field beating numerous defenders and buried a goal past the Mercer keeper to pull the Terriers with in two. The Bears continued to play the possession game and outlasted the Terrier comeback, holding on for a 3-1 final.
 
Despite the loss the Terriers totaled seven shots and four shots on goal. In the match Jack Sicker picked up his first goal of the season.
 
The Terriers look return to the pitch on Saturday night when the team hosts ETSU at 7 pm at Snyder Field.
