GREENWOOD, S.C. | Lucero Robayo's goal with just over 12 minutes remaining was the difference for Young Harris College as they picked up a 2-1 Peach Belt Conference women's soccer victory over Lander University Saturday (Oct. 15) afternoon at Van Taylor Stadium.

The Mountain Lions, who defeated the Bearcats for the first time in five tries in the series, improved to 5-2-3 overall and to 4-2-1 in the Peach Belt, while Lander fell to 3-8-1 and 2-5-1. The four PBC wins for the Mountain Lions are the most since Young Harris joined the league in 2012. Young Harris returns to action Tuesday (Oct. 18) when they host Clayton State University in a 5 p.m. Peach Belt contest at the YHC Soccer and Lacrosse Field.

Young Harris, which lived in its offensive side of the field in the second half, finally broke the 1-all tie in the 78th minute. Jordyn Brown sent in a cross from the left side that the Lander goalkeeper couldn't control; however, Robayo was in the right spot at the right time. Robayo settled the ball in the middle of the box and blasted  it into the center of the net for her third goal of the 2016 campaign.

The Mountain Lions had jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute. Maria Martinez sent the ball in to a wide open Marilla Lages in the box. Lages beat the Lander keeper and put the ball in the right corner of the net for her first goal of the season.

Lander equalized the match at 1 in the 38th minute off a free kick from 28 yards out by Kayla Walker. It was her third of the season.

Young Harris held a 22-10 advantage on shots, including a 9-2 edge in the second half. The Mountain Lions also held a 6-3 advantage on corner kicks. Nicole Medeiros recorded five saves in goal for Young Harris, while Hannah Cowan picked up 11 in net for the Bearcats.
