BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – The Gardner-Webb men's soccer team took on Wofford College in its long-awaited season opener under the lights at Greene-Harbison Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Terriers took the win over the Runnin' Bulldogs with a final score of 1-0, Wofford.
 
"Wofford is a tough opponent to match up with," said head coach Tony Setzer "We have to give them credit, as they managed to score on us early in the game. We were able to limit their attacking game, but we need to do a better job attacking and converting the ball too. We will go back to the drawing board and regroup before hosting VMI on Saturday."
 
The lone goal and eventual game winner of the evening came from Jackson Wrobel for the Terriers, early on in the 6^th minute of match play.
