THE SERIES
The Fleet still lead the all-time series 10-6-1, but a Barton win on Saturday ended a stretch of three straight matches in Wilson where the Fleet earned at least a draw.

THE MATCH
The Bulldogs came flying out of the gates and their early pressure resulted in a 6th-minute goal by Tobias Nielsen to take a 1-0 lead. Despite being on the back foot to start the match, Erskine found an equalizer just a few minutes later when Dennis Cole scored his fifth goal of the season in the 11th-minute to tie the match at one apiece. However, Barton answered the Fleet equalizer just three minutes later when Luis Hernandez Velasco gave the Bulldogs the lead right back at 2-1. Barton outshot the Fleet 13 to four in the first half and Erskine only managed just the one shot on target while the Bulldogs added three more goals in a 16 minute stretch to extend their lead before the half. The Bulldogs controlled the second half as well, outshooting the Fleet 11 to one in a scoreless final 45 minutes to finish off a 5-1 defeat for the Fleet at Barton.

THE PLAYER
Dennis Cole had Erskine's lone shot on target, an 11th-minute goal that leveled the match at one apiece.

THE TEAM
Barton outshot Erskine 24 to five and 13 to one in shots on target.
 
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Fleet continue conference play as they return home for a bout with King University (2-6-1, 0-6-0 CC) on Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. The Fleet have a 6-2-1 advantage over the Tornado all-time including a Conference Carolinas quarterfinal victory for Erskine by a 2-0 scoreline back in April of this year.
