#articleRelated { display: none !important; } Freshman Kelly McGinty scored just 30 seconds into the first overtime period to send the College of Charleston to the 1-0 win over Robert Morris in women's soccer action this afternoon at the Quality Inn & Suites Classic held this weekend at Patriots Point in Mt. Pleasant, SC. American and Florida Atlantic came away with the 1-1 tie after two overtimes in the first game of the afternoon.

American picked up the tournament win.

The Cougars improve to 3-2-1 on the year, while Robert Morris drops to 0-4-1.

Charleston had many chances in regulation to score with nine shots in the first half and 13 in the second but could not convert on any of them to send the game into extra minutes. It then took just 30 seconds for the Mt. Pleasant native McGinty to send one past the goalkeeper after being set up by the blocked shot by Amanda Andrews. Andrews and Wertis picked up the assists on the goal.

Colonial Jessica Onufer kept the game in doubt with 11 saves on the day. Christina Nicholson produced Robert Morris's only shot of the game. Several Cougars had multiple shots this afternoon with Kristin Rhyne leading with her five. NC State transfer Nicole Blume followed with four.

The Cougars travel to Blacksburg, Va., next weekend for the Virginia Tech Tournament. They face Virginia Tech Friday Sept. 17th at 7:30 PM and Howard Sunday Sept. 19th at 1:00 PM. The Colonials travel to Cornell Sept. 19th for an 11:00 AM match.
