With 3:53 to play in the first half, Winthrop junior Miguel Casajuana struck from 16 yards out, slipping past Charleston's Clark Hankins to take a 1-0 lead for the Eagles.
Winthrop threatened to score again 11 minutes into the second period as Matt Lacey made a hard shot from 40 yards out that hit the crossbar.
The Cougars played a physical second half, earning nine corner kicks, including three in the 59th minute of action.
Junior defender Sean Flatley sent one flying from 25 yards out directly in front of the goal at the 86:41 mark but was stopped by Miranda, who tallied two saves on the evening. The win boosted Winthrop to 9-2-2 this year.
