Wake FC edged South Carolina United Bantams 3–2 in a USL W League contest on Saturday, picking up all three points in a five-goal affair.

Details on the individual goal scorers and their timing were not immediately available, but the scoreline told its own story — Wake FC needed all three of their goals to hold off a persistent South Carolina United side that twice found the net to keep the pressure on.

The result marked a narrow but important home victory for Wake FC, who managed to stay on the right side of a tight game despite conceding twice. South Carolina United Bantams will feel hard done by after pulling within a goal but ultimately falling short of salvaging a point.

Neither side picked up a booking, with the referee keeping the cards in the pocket across the full 90 minutes despite the competitive nature of the match.

The win gives Wake FC valuable momentum as the W League season continues to take shape.
