Box Score
Pembroke, N.C.----Wingate University junior forward Jade Montgomery (Monroe, N.C.) picked the right time to score her 40th career goal, converting a header to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 overtime victory at UNC Pembroke Monday night.

"Our decision-making in the final third was not as solid as we would like," Wingate head coach Chip Wiggins says. "We hit the wall tonight…and playing overtime didn't help. Throughout the season, teams will have many different things happen to test their mettle. Fortunately, we were able to respond tonight…and get the win."
