CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston Women's Soccer will travel to Columbia, S.C. to face off against South Carolina in match two of a three-game road stint on Sunday, Sept. 1. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The College fell to Kennesaw State in its first road match of the season this past Thursday by a score of 1-0. With plenty of opportunities to climb back into the game, the Cougars valiant effort just wasn't enough. Freshman Olivia Freitas took a game-high five shots including three on target, while CofC held the edge in shots, 12-8.
The Opponent
South Carolina is coming off a season in which it made a run into the second round of the NCAA Tournament, losing to No. 14 Penn State by a score of 1-0. This season, the Gamecocks have logged a perfect 3-0 record, outscoring their opponents 11-1. Head Coach Shelley Smith is in the midst of her 19th season at the helm of the program. She has registered an overall record of 238-115-45 throughout her tenure with USC. Six Gamecocks were named to the SEC Watch List.
Quotable
"The South Carolina game will be another huge test for us and we're ready for the challenge. These games are fun and are exactly the type of games that you want to be in as a player. Lacing up your boots against a top 10 opponent in front of a big crowd is what it's all about. My team has played in a lot of these games over the years and I know they'll be excited for the match and the opportunity to compete. If we're at our best Sunday night, we can play with anyone. I know this team is ready to give it everything they have." – CofC Head Coach Christian Michner
