#articleRelated { display: none !important; } The Wofford men's soccer team fell 3-0 to conference opponent the College of Charleston Saturday evening at Snyder Field.

The Terriers hung tough in the first half despite falling behind early. Just over seven minutes into the match, at 7:04, Ricardo Diaz Granados crossed the ball to Jeff Files who found the back of the net past Wofford keeper Philip Trotter.

The game remained a battle of possession until the 59th minute. At 58:03, Terrier Brandon Lowery was called for a foul in the 18-yard box, and the Cougars' Sage Martina converted the ensuing penalty kick to widen the margin to 2-0.

The College of Charleston closed the scoring when it had numbers inside the box and Files found an open Jeremy Gold at 85:04.

Wofford had its chances to put a tally on the scoreboard, including shots by junior Jesus Arroyo-Peco, who led the Terriers with four on the evening. Arroyo-Peco fired one shot in the first half just over the corner frame before ricocheting another one off the crossbar halfway through the second session.

With the loss, the Terriers fall to 2-12, 0-4 in the Southern Conference, while the College of Charleston improves to 8-3-2 overall and 4-2 in the league.

Wofford will conclude its road schedule next Sunday, Oct. 26, as it travels to Statesboro, Ga., to face Georgia Southern.
