Box Score SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Samford University soccer team exploded for three second-half goals in a span of 12 minutes Sunday to earn a pivotal 3-1 come-from-behind victory on the road against the Wofford Terries in a key Southern Conference contest held at Snyder Field.
 
Samford (6-5-1, 3-0-1 SoCon) trailed 1-0 midway through the second half of play before Brittany Hoffman, Michelle Moll and Trine Taule all scored goals in a span of 11 minutes and three seconds. Hoffman, the Bulldogs' sophomore forward from Knoxville, Tenn., tallied the equalizing goal in the 73^rd minute. The score was Hoffman's team-leading fourth goal of the 2012 campaign.
 
Less than five minutes later, Samford's Moll registered the game-winning goal at 77:31, as she rifled home a shot from 10 yards out into the bottom left corner. The score was Moll's second of the season, both of which have been game-winners.
 
Taule, the Bulldogs' junior midfielder, extended Samford's lead to 3-1 with a goal in the 84^th minute of play. The score was her second of the season and was set up beautifully by Shanika Thomas. On the decisive goal, Thomas sent in a perfectly-placed crossing pass that Taule easily collected and blasted into the top right corner.
 
With Sunday's 3-1 victory, the Bulldogs extended their undefeated streak against SoCon opponents to 18-consecutive matches. Samford has not been beaten by a league rival since Nov. 7, 2010, in the championship title game of the SoCon Tournament.

Despite being outshot 8-2 in the opening period, Wofford took a 1-0 lead into the half. Samford continued its shooting barrage in the second half and rattled off an additional 10 shots en route to three goals in the final 45 minutes of action.
