NC State men's soccer tallied its second win on Sunday afternoon over Florida Gulf Coast with another late goal to seal the victory.

The Pack closed out the opening weekend of regular season soccer with another win to go perfect with their two opening games. Both Thursday night against High Point and Sunday evening against Florida Gulf Coast came down to the final minutes to decide the game.

NC State out shot Florida Gulf Coast in both halves, recording nearly double the shot attempts over the visiting squad. Several shots were nearly netted but the home crew was unable to finalize any. Taig Healy and Hakim Karamoko led the team each with four shots, while followed by Junior Nare with three attempts himself. 12 total members of the Pack recorded shot attempts, eight of those 12 held competitive shots on goal.

A chirpy second half led to numerous yellow cards and even a red card to be awarded to the Eagles, giving NC State plenty of opportunities off of free-kicks. A yellow card inside the box in the final minutes eventually gave the red-and-white the secure opportunity to score. Captain of the game, Will Buete, took the penalty kick to nail the ball in the back of the net, adding to his already existing season goal tally after he scored in the last game.

Logan Erb marked his first game in goal for the red-and-white, making two saves to ensure the Wolfpack's shut out.
