BOSTON, Mass. – The College of Charleston men's soccer team couldn't overcome two first half goals in their 2-1 loss to Northeastern Saturday night at Parsons Field.
The Cougars (6-6-2, 3-2-1 CAA) have already punched their ticket to the CAA tournament but will be playing for positioning in the CAA tournament their final two games.
Northeastern (3-9-2, 2-5 CAA), who outshot the Cougars 16-6 throughout the match, scored two early goals in the first 30 minutes of action. Christian McKenna put away the first goal in the 19th minute off of assists from Khesanio Hall and Frantzdy Pierrot while the second goal came off of the foot Hall when the Huskies were awarded a penalty kick in the 26th minute.
