RALEIGH, N.C. Behind junior Alan Sanchez’s two goals, the NC State men’s soccer team defeated visiting VMI, 3-1, Tuesday night at the first ever night game at the NC State Soccer Stadium. The Pack (1-3-1) tallied 21 shots for the game against the Keydets (0-4) and picked up the first win of the season.
The Wolfpack would get on the scoreboard first at the 9:00 mark in the first half. Tyler Lassiter won the ball around midfield and found Ronnie Bouemboue on the left flank. Bouemboue dribbled towards goal and let a shot go from about 25 yards out through traffic and into the VMI net.
NC State would add one more before the half in the 34th minute. Stanley Mathurin took a free kick from around midfield and drove it into the VMI PK box where Sanchez got his foot to the ball and deposited the shot at the 33:40 mark.
The Keydets would cut the lead in half, when Barrett Lukhoj knocked in a John Sisco corner kick at the 64:05 mark to get VMI within a goal.
The Pack would add an insurance goal just 18 seconds later, when Sanchez converted a penalty kick at the 64:23 mark.
NC State held a huge shot advantage, 21-8 for the game. NC State’s Christopher Widman recorded two saves for the win, while VMI’s Brian Sowell finished with nine saves.
The Pack will be in road action this weekend, playing at Virginia on Friday at 7:00 p.m.
