Branko Gavric played a ball from near midfield toward the 18 yard line. Prince got to the ball right at the UNCG back line and was able to scoot through for a 1-on-1 with goalkeeper Peyton Ford. Prince chipped the ball into the upper 90 on the right side for his fourth goal of the season and a 1-0 lead.
The scored that way until 14:02 remained in regulation time. Prince took a corner kick for the Cougars and found Matt Morris slicing down the middle of the box. Morris leaped in the air and got a foot on it, to pop it just inside the left post to give the Cougars an insurance marker.
UNCG (3-6-3, 1-1-1) outshot the Cougars, 10-8, on the night. Ford had two saves, while Clark Hankins had four saves for the Cougars in his first appearance since September 20.
