UNCG's men's soccer team continued their dominance over High Point University on Saturday night. The squad scored early and often as they defeated the Panthers 4-0.
Junior midfielder, Jokull Elisabetarson had a strong match for the Spartans as he scored a goal in each of the halves. This brings the Iceland native to a team leading four goals on the season.
Joining Elisabetarson in the scoring column were Matt Strine and Thomas Campbell. Strine, a redshirt freshman, knocked in an unassisted shot from the left side of the box making the score 1-0. Strine's goal is the first of his collegiate career.
Elisabetarson scored the Spartans' second goal of the match off of a penalty kick.
The Spartans lengthened their lead to 3-0 when Campbell knocked a pass from Strine into the back of the net from the left side of the box. The goal is Campbell's second of the season.
Elisabetarson scored the final goal of the game in the second half of the match. Elisabetarson's booted a penalty kick into the Panthers' goal, but High Point's goalkeeper, Corey Whisenhunt, saved the shot. But Elisabetarson managed to get the rebound and put the ball in the back of the net giving the Spartans the 4-0 win.
The defensive side of the game was just as crisp, as the goalkeeper combination of Chad Janda and Chad Dickerson had a monster game for the Spartans. Together, Janda and Dickerson were able to give the Spartans the shutout.
As the fierce squad continues to be a force to be reckoned with, this win improves UNCG's record to 2-2-1 on the season.
The Spartans must continue their road trip before returning to UNCG for their homecoming match against the Zips from Akron. The match will take place on homecoming weekend Saturday, Sept. 29 at 7:00 p.m. at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.
