WINGATE, N.C. - Despite holding a one-goal advantage at the halftime break, No. 19 Wingate used two second-half goals to hand Anderson University men's soccer its first South Atlantic Conference setback, falling 2-1 Saturday evening at the WU Soccer Complex.

The Trojans drop to 2-2-1 overall and to an even 1-1 mark in the conference, while the Bulldogs remain unbeaten on the season, improving to 4-0-2 on the year and 2-0 for league play. In addition to the victory, WU earns its first regular-season win over the Black and Gold since 2010.

The home side out-shot the Trojans, 16-9, for the match, including a 12-shot mark in the final 45 minutes. Anderson's trio of Lars Kaula, Austin Billiot and Erik Dahlbeck led the team with two shots apiece, while Dahlbeck earned his first collegiate goal to open the match's scoring.

Dahlbeck's goal came in the 36th minute of action when AU earned a corner kick. Freshman Johnny Landis sent the corner into the Wingate box and found Trojan defender Josh Calabria, who flicked a pass to Andre Carle. With the ball, Carle quickly flicked a pass to an open Dahlbeck, who fired on an empty net to earn his first goal in a Black and Gold uniform. In addition to the goal, Carle and Calabria were credited with an assist.

Anderson went into the halftime break with a 1-0 advantage, but could hang on to its lead, as Wingate was awarded a penalty kick in the 53rd minute. Bulldog Callum Ross sent a shot past AU goalkeeper Devon Ashy for his fourth goal of the season and second from the penalty spot this year.

As the match looked to be destined for extra time, Wingate recorded its game-winning goal in the 86th minute when Jon Ander grabbed a cross from Shaun Gadsby and chipped in a shot to seal the home victory. Ander's second-half goal was his second of the season.

Anderson was unable to fire another shot for the remainder of the match, as the Trojans continue to search for their first true road victory this year.

Ashy closed the evening with five saves, while his counterpart, Pablo Jara, tallied four saves in the winning effort.

AU returns to the pitch on Wednesday when it heads to Brevard for a SAC matchup. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
