Senior Jeremy Gold netted the second hat trick of his career as his three goals paced the College of Charleston men's soccer team to a victory over Davidson at Patriots Point, on Saturday night, 3-1.
Davidson (4-8-0, 0-3-0 SoCon) attempted three of their four first-half corner kicks in the first two minutes of action, which placed a significant amount of pressure on the defense of CofC (7-4-1, 2-0-0 SoCon)
"Davidson's offensive attack the first ten minutes of the game tested our defense immediately," said CofC associate head coach, Ralph Polson.
Gold scored his first goal in the 11th minute of action to give CofC the advantage over Davidson, 1-0.
"Jeremy's (Gold) first goal set the offensive pace for our entire team the rest of the game," said Polson. "We were able to push our offense forward and put pressure on their defense."
In the first half, CofC attempted six shots and two corner kicks, while Davidson attempted two shots.
Gold scored his second goal of the match in the 66th minute to give CofC the two goal advantage. The goal was unassisted.
"Jeremy made another great individual play for his second goal," said Polson. "He has led this team the entire season by scoring key goals in important moments. That second goal was critical for us at that time of the match."
Gold's third and final goal came off a free kick in the 69th minute to give CofC the lead, 3-0.
Overall this season, Gold has nine goals, three assists and 21 points. He leads the SoCon in goals scored and points.
David Satorio scored the lone goal for Davidson in the 72nd minute to make the score, 3-1, in favor of the College of Charleston.
In the entire match, CofC took 14 shots and attempted three corner kicks. Davidson attempted four shots and three corner kicks.
Junior Corbin Waller had one save in the match to gain his sixth win of the season.
"We're happy to start the SoCon season undefeated and hope to continue our competitive play against Coastal on Tuesday," said Polson.
Only four men, Vladimir Suite, Chad Carithers, Chris Braithwaite and Jeremy Gold have gained a hat trick in the storied history of College of Charleston men's soccer in Division 1 play. Jeremy Gold is the only player who has achieved this distinction twice. His first hat trick took place on Sept. 2, 2005 against Western Michigan.
CofC has now won their first two SoCon matches this season. The Cougars have started 2-0 in the SoCon only twice, in 2004 and 1999.
The Cougars return to action on Tuesday, Oct. 3 against Coastal Carolina at Patriots Point. The match will begin at 6:00 p.m.
