Kelly Renkin and Jenna Evans tallied goals as UNC Wilmington defeated College of Charleston 2-0 Friday night at UNCW Soccer Stadium.
“To lose a match like that, which we had in control for large stretches, is unacceptable,” Head Coach Kevin Dempsey said. “We might be an attractive team to watch but we are not effective enough right now.”
In a game that seemed destined for overtime, Evans took a mis-cleared ball from Alanna Jordan in the 88th minute. She slipped pass Cougar goalkeeper Sarah Wiggers and passed to Renkin who tapped it into the empty net.
A minute later, Evans added an insurance tally with the Cougars pushing up for the equalizer.
Kerry Broderick had what looked to be the go-ahead goal for the Cougars (0-2) in the 69th minute when she followed an Emily Morgan shot bobbled by UNCW keeper Jamie Balzarini but poked the rebound right into Balzarini's body.
The Seahawks held a 12-8 advantage in shots and recorded six corner kicks on the evening to Charleston's three.
“We'll get to work and regroup for an important match on Tuesday,” Dempsey said.
College of Charleston will return home to face Charleston Southern in the Silver Cup Derby Tues., Sept. 11, at 7:00 at Patriots Point Field in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
The match is named for the trophy given to the winner of the annual non-conference match, which the Cougars have held since 2001 (5-0-1).
