Wingate, N.C.----The Wingate University Bulldogs got back on track after their first two losses of the year, cruising to a 4-0 victory against visiting Catawba College in South Atlantic Conference men's soccer action Wednesday night. Wingate improves to 11-2-2 overall and 8-1 in the SAC, while the Indians fall to 4-9 overall and 2-7 in the conference.

The Bulldogs got on the board 10 minutes into the opening half, when senior Gustavo Andrade (Sao Paulo, Brazil) ripped a line drive from the middle of the box past the keeper to make it 1-0. Senior Cameron Burrows (Cary, N.C.) and junior Aksel Juul (Newcastle, England) assisted on the play.

Wingate took a two-goal lead three minutes later. A deflection at the top of the box from sophomore Garret Bridgewater (Cape Carteret, N.C.) found Juul in front of the post. The All-Region midfielder re-directed it towards the opposite post, finding the back of the net for the fourth time this year.
