Argyle struck first in the second half. Conner Buck scored less than three minutes in on a penalty kick to give the Scots a 1-0 edge.
Cole Schilling put it away with a goal with 17:17 remaining. Schilling headed in a cross from Victor Aguero to make it 2-0 Argyle.

Lake George Rolls Over Granville on Homecoming Night
Lake George entered Friday night's high school football game with revenge on their mind. And boy did they get it. The Warriors celebrated their Homecoming by throttling the Golden Horde 47-6 in a Section Class C North matchup.
Granville had beaten the Warriors in the Fall II Sports season finale, and Lake George has had this one circled on their calendar ever since.
Signal caller Brody McCabe and lighting fast Brendan Lamby proved to be just too much for the Golden Horde to overcome. The duo combined on TD passes of 4, 48 and 25 yards on the night. Lamby scored on a 49-yard run and McCabe added an 11-yard scamper.
"We came out on fire," Lake George coach Zak Kozersky said.
Lake George had a more offense then they would need in a less than five minute span of the first quarter. Lamby and McCabe connected for the first time with 4:47 to play in the stanza and again with seven second left. McCabe sandwiched his scoring run in between with 2:20 to play.
The Warriors increased the lead to 40-0 at the half on two more hook ups between McCabe and Lamby and a 49-yard touchdown run from Matthew Johnson.
McCabe finished the scoring in the third quarter on a Hohman.
McCabe finished 11 of 12 for 176 yards. He also had 76 yards on the ground. Johnson finished with 81 rushing yards.
Alex Warrington scored the only Granville TD from three yards out in the fourth quarter.
Lake George is 2-0. Granville is 0-2.
