MISENHEIMER, N.C. (Oct. 14, 2026) — Pfeiffer erased a halftime deficit with three second-half goals to defeat JWU Charlotte 3-1 on an unseasonably warm Wednesday afternoon at Lefko-Mills Field, improving to 7-3-2 on the season.
The Falcons fell behind late in the first half when JWU's Giancarlo Alvarez scored in the 42nd minute off an assist from Nicolas Hernandez, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage heading into the break.
Pfeiffer responded quickly after halftime. Just 7:53 into the second half,
Wesley Hooker netted his ninth goal of the season off a feed from
Jefferson Paguada to level the match at 1-1.
The Falcons struck again only two minutes later when Cade Bierman finished an assist from
Barrett Owens in the 55th minute, completing the comeback and giving Pfeiffer a 2-1 lead.
Tyler Ridley added an insurance goal in the 80th minute, converting a pass from
Brendan Chisholm to extend the margin to 3-1 and seal the victory.
The Falcons held an 11-7 advantage in shots and a 5-4 edge in corner kicks while placing six shots on goal. Garro paced the attack with two shots on target, while Bierman, Hooker and Ridley each found the back of the net.
In goal,
Seth Limbert turned away five shots to earn the win for Pfeiffer. The Falcons' defense limited JWU Charlotte to just three second-half shots after surrendering the opening goal late in the first half.
Pfeiffer will return to USA South play on Saturday, Oct. 17 with a road match at Southern Virginia. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
