Wilmington, Del. - A pair of second-half tallies off the boots of
Francisco Corral and
David Wilson provided Georgian Court University with a thrilling come-from-behind CACC triumph Wednesday at Goldey-Beacom as the first-place Lions extend their season-starting record to an unblemished 8-0-2 (5-0-1 CACC).
The host-Lightning struck first for an initial 1-0 advantage when Tumi Sekhampu ricocheted a shot off the right post and in at 39:57. GBC's razor-thin cushion would hold until the 67th-minute (66:49) as Corral (2nd goal of season) headed in a Wilson cross to knot the score at 1-all. After aiding on the equalizer, Wilson would take center stage in the 73rd-minute (72:33) as the senior forward stung a
Louis Silva cross to net the game-winner (first goal of year).
GCU dominated the shots column at 15-5, and owned a 7-1 advantage in frame. Despite not collecting a save,
Gianluca Cersosimo improved to 8-0-2 in the Lions' net.
Georgian Court returns to campus in preparation of Saturday's Homecoming Day showdown with Caldwell University. Start time is slated for 3:30 p.m.
