HOW IT HAPPENED
In a game that was originally scheduled for late September but postponed due to inclement weather, Erskine dominated the first half, outshooting Bob Jones 6 to 1 and creating all of the attacking chances but headed into halftime scoreless. The Fleet's control carried over into the second half and was eventually rewarded in the 58th minute. After an Erskine attacker was fouled right on top of the box, senior Rebekah Wiles stood over the free kick and laced it past the Bruins goalkeeper into the back of the net to open the scoring. The visitors grew into the match after the Fleet took the lead, but Erskine defended well to contain the Bruins, with goalkeeper Valentina Santana only forced into making one save that was routine and the Fleet saw out the final half-hour for a 1-0 win to close the season.

THE PLAYER
In her final game in an Erskine uniform, Rebekah Wiles made a crucial impact. The senior midfielder scored the game's only goal on a superb free kick in the 58th minute that was the match-winner. Wiles played the first 88 minutes of her final match before departing to a bunch of hugs from the Erskine bench as she ended her Flying Fleet career with a victory.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Erskine did not qualify for the upcoming 2026 Conference Carolinas Women's Soccer Championship, so the Fleet will turn their focus to the off-season and beginning preparations for 2027.
