RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State women's soccer team dropped Thursday night's nonconference matchup 1-0 to William & Mary.
Leah Iglesias scored the game-winner in the 56th minute, finishing off a cross from Molly Widderich. The Wolfpack outshot the Tribe 13-6 for the match and 7-3 in the final 45 minutes, but Iglesias' goal proved to be the difference in the low-scoring match at Dail Soccer Stadium.
NC State and William & Mary were knotted at 0-0 after a scoreless first half. The Wolfpack doubled the Tribe in shots, holding a 6-3 advantage in the opening half.
Antonella Mazziotto gathered a throw in from Brooklyn Holt down the right wing and fended off a defender before firing the Pack's first shot on goal of the match in the 10th minute. NC State came close to the opening goal once again in the 32nd minute when Taylor Chism's header off a corner kick struck the left post.
William & Mary logged two shots on goal in the first half, including a long-range effort outside the 18-yard box from Ivey Crain.
The Tribe started the second half with a pair of scoring opportunities in quick succession. Crain dragged her right-footed shot just wide of the left post in the 47th minute before recording a shot on target less than a minute later.
NC State recorded the final five shots of the match following William & Mary's goal. Abi Hugh led the Wolfpack with three shots, while Mana Nakata and Annika Wohner each logged two shots apiece.
