FARMVILLE, Va. — Nathan Simes scored a pair of goals after halftime and Wofford held on for a 2-1 win over the Longwood men’s soccer team at the Longwood Athletics Complex on Friday.

Simes, who came into play leading the Terriers with two goals and an assist, all put up in Wofford’s 5-2 victory over Coastal Carolina last Sunday, added two more Friday after a scoreless first 45 minutes.

Simes put his team up, 1-0 in the 52nd minute when he ran onto a long ball down the left side, tucking a shot inside the far post, past Longwood goalkeeper Max Hinke.

Wofford doubled the lead in the 73rd minute as the Terriers played a corner kick that the glanced off the heads of a Longwood player and the opposition and fell to Simes in the box, who made no mistake.

“It was a difficult result for us tonight,” said Longwood head coach Paul Gilbert. “At times, I thought we were really good, and at times not. I felt like we created enough chances to win, but credit to Wofford they capitalized on theirs and we didn’t.”

The Lancers gave themselves a chance, getting on the scoreboard with just 3:26 to play when junior Ezrah Serralde hit a screamer from about 22 yards for his first Division I goal. On the play, he collected a ball that David Ambaek played from the midfield stripe before coming off the head of Aaron Bruening. Serralde deposited a low shot in the right corner of the net to cut the lead in half.

That was as close as the Lancers got, though, snapping a two-match winning streak against Wofford, which improved to 2-2-0 with the win. 

Hinke made five saves for the Lancers, who outshot Wofford, 12-8 for the match and 8-6 in the second half. 

Pepe Hinterschuster stopped four shots to earn the win in the Wofford net.

Serralde (two), Brando Bedolla and Jose Coutinho (one apiece) all had shots on goal for Longwood.

Longwood (1-1-1) is back in action Tuesday at Liberty at 7 p.m., on ESPN+.
