#articleRelated { display: none !important; } Teryn Shuetz scored with just seven-and-a-half minutes to play in regulation to break a 3-3 tie as the College of Charleston women's soccer team defeated Elon, 4-3, this evening at Patriots Point Field in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

The Cougars improve to 3-5-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the SoCon, while the Phoenix fall to 2-8-2 and 0-4-0.

The Cougars went on the board just 10 minutes into the match at 10:48 when Sophomore Amanda Andrews' shot from the right side just inside the box ricocheted off the left post into the back of the net.

The second goal of the evening came at 15:14 when senior Colleen Hoban fed the ball to Senior Carolyn Morris at the center of the box just in front of the penalty line. Morris blasted the ball past the goalkeeper for the netter.

Elon's Kerri Morris put the Phoenix on the board at 30:20 when she dribbled past the defenders and sent the ball past the goalkeeper from about eight yards out. Gillian Murray assisted on the play.

At the 57:52 mark Megan Broderick received the ball just at midfield and fed it to Lou Hudson, who dribbled it down the right side of the field to just inside the box. Hudson crossed it to Kristin Rhyne who took the ball in for the score.

Elon answered immediately at 58:21 when Susannah Gianakos broke away down the middle, dribbling through traffic and lacing the ball to the right, just inside the net.

Gianakos tied the game up at 70:01 with a shot that just sailed over the arms of the goalkeeper.

A corner kick by Danielle Jordan at 82:42 sent the ball into the middle of the box where it ended up in at the feet of Lou Hudson, who fed it to Schuetz 18 yards out to left. She blasted the ball just over the goalkeeper's head for the eventual game-winner.

The College of Charleston out-shot Elon 20-12, with the Phoenix edging the Cougars in saves, 5-4. Gianakos led Elon with three shots while Morris paced Charleston with six shots.

The Cougars travel to Appalachian State Oct. 9th for a 2:00 PM contest, while Elon hosts Furman Oct. 10th at 4:00 PM.
