Wohner's Brace Lifts #25 Wolfpack to 3-1 Win Over Charlotte
8/28/2024 9:30:00 PM | Women's Soccer
RALEIGH, N.C. – Annika Wohner netted a brace for the second straight match as NC State women's soccer recorded a 3-1 victory over Charlotte on Wednesday night at Dail Soccer Stadium. Wednesday night's win not only marked back-to-back multi-goal wins for the Wolfpack, but it also marked the 400th win in program history.
Wohner needed less than 4 minutes to give the Pack a lead it never relinquished. After a clearance was blocked on the right wing, Mana Nakata gathered the ball and played a pass into Wohner, who quickly blasted a right-footed effort into the bottom-right corner of Charlotte's goal for a 1-0 lead.
The Wolfpack then doubled its lead in the 17th minute when Jaiden Thomas scored her first goal of the season. Wohner was again a focal point in the Pack's goal, firing a shot on goal to force a save from Charlotte goalkeeper Emma Wakeman before Thomas tapped in a score for a 2-0 advantage.
Wohner made it four goals in just two games in the 25th minute when she chased down a long pass from Brooklyn Holt down the right side of the pitch. Wohner evaded the goalkeeper before tallying NC State's third and final goal of the night.
Charlotte cut NC State's lead to two when Payton Patrick delivered a solo goal from outside the 18-yard box, trimming the score to 3-1 in the 31st minute. The Wolfpack held a 12-4 advantage in shots and a 4-1 advantage in corner kicks in the first half.
NC State and Charlotte went scoreless in the second half as the Wolfpack notched its second win in as many years against the 49ers. Olivia Pratapas denied Charlotte forward Macey Bader from close range in the 87th minute to preserve the two-goal victory.
NC State's 400th win in program history also marked win No. 88 for head coach Tim Santoro as the Wolfpack's head coach. He moves into second place alone for most wins by an NC State women's soccer head coach, surpassing former Wolfpack coach Laura Kerrigan.
