#articleRelated { display: none !important; } Jeremy Gold's goal with 34 seconds left lifted the College of Charleston to a 2-1 win over Wofford in Southern Conference men's soccer action at Snyder Field on Tuesday.

The match was a rescheduled contest after the Oct. 7th meeting was postponed due to inclement weather.

The Cougars improved to 7-6-2 overall and 3-2-0 in league play. The Terriers are 3-8-2 and 0-5-0.

As the clock was winding down, the Terriers committed a foul near the Cougar bench. CofC's Jeremy Gold, who came into the contest leading the SoCon with 26 points and tied for the league lead with 10 goals, took the direct kick from nearly 40 yards out.

Gold's shot sliced through the Wofford defense and a screened Joey Taylor untouched for the game winner with 34 seconds left at 89:26.

Earlier in the second half the Terriers scored an equalizer from roughly the same distance. Senior Ritter Sansoni sent a long ball into the box which found the head of a streaking Brandon Lowery.

Lowery headed the ball past Cougar keeper Corbin Waller for the game-tying goal at 51:49. The tally was Lowery's sixth of the season and ties him with senior Jesus Arroyo-Peco for the team lead.

Charleston took a 1-0 lead at the 20:14 mark on an own goal. Casey Gold's cross into the six-yard box caromed off a Wofford defender into the back of the net.

Lowery had an early chance in the opening session to give the Terriers the early lead but his header bounced off the crossbar before being cleared by the Cougar defense.

Taylor finished with a career-high tying nine saves in playing the full 90 minutes in the cage. Hunter Gilstrap played the first half in goal for CofC making two saves before being relieved by Waller. Waller finished with one save in the final 45 minutes.

Gold and teammate Matt Morris led all players with six shots apiece. Lowery and Arroyo-Peco paced Wofford with three shots each.

The Cougars travel to UNC Greensboro Oct 23rd for a 7:00 PM match.
