The match began with Cape Fear asserting dominance in possession, pressing Wake Tech into their own half. However, against the run of play, Wake Tech managed to strike first with a long-distance effort in the 23rd minute, taking a 1-0 lead. Undeterred, Cape Fear responded just four minutes later. A beautiful through ball from Kenliana Dixon found Jo Morales in stride, who calmly finished past the keeper to level the score at 1-1 in the 27th minute. From there, the Sea Devils continued to press, maintaining control and utilizing the full width of the field to stretch Wake Tech's defense.

The second half saw a brief resurgence from Wake Tech, but Cape Fear's defense, led by Avery Reichert, Cierra Burnett, and Teagan Rosales, shut down their chances. Behind them, goalkeeper Laurel Collins was rock-solid, making 9 critical saves to keep Wake Tech at bay.

In the 78th minute, Avery Reichert delivered a pinpoint corner kick, which Brynli Baker met with a perfectly-timed volley to give Cape Fear the 2-1 lead. Just minutes later, Baker was instrumental again, combining with Dixon, who sidestepped the Wake Tech goalkeeper and tapped in the third goal to seal the 3-1 victory.

With this win, Cape Fear climbs to the top of the Region 10 standings, demonstrating their strength and cohesion as a unit. The attacking prowess of Brynli Baker (1 goal, 1 assist), Kenliana Dixon (1 goal, 1 assist), and Jo Morales (1 goal), combined with the defensive solidity of Reichert, Burnett, and Rosales, proved too much for the Eagles to handle.

Final Thoughts: "So pleased with today's performance," says Head Coach C.W. Ponton. "We needed to step up today for the win and we did just that. Very proud of our hard work as a team."
