Rocky Mount, NC - The N.C. Wesleyan men's soccer program won its first ever game in the program's debut at Vernon T. Bradley Jr. Stadium by a score of 2-1.

Justo Esponda-Neuss scored his first goal of the season for Wesleyan in the 61st minute to secure a big non-conference victory.

On the stat sheet, Evan Vicenti led the team with two shots on goal, but coming at crucial spots in the match.
