In the second half Page, a senior forward, tied the game high with five shots, scored off of a deflection in front of the goal at 53:40.

McLaughlin, a freshman defender, scored what proved to be the game-winning goal at 74:05 when he scored off of pass into the box by Jorge Suarez.

The Bisons outshot Gardner-Webb 14-13.

Goergen made five saves for the Bisons. Goalkeeper Dave Geraci made four saves for Gardner-Webb.

The Bisons are 2-6-2, 1-1-1 in the A-Sun. Gardner-Webb is 1-9-1 overall.
