Cougars Going for Road Win at Delaware

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston men's soccer team (3-5-3, 0-4-1) will look to pick up its first conference win of the 2021 campaign when it travels to face Delaware (1-9-1, 0-5) on Saturday night at 7 p.m.

The Cougars are coming off one of their best performances of the season, given the opponent. CofC played Hofstra to a 1-1 draw, ending the Pride's seven match winning streak. Hofstra came into Patriots Point ranked 23rd in the country, according to Top Drawer Soccer. Delaware is coming off a gutsy performance, losing to #12 Maryland in extra time.

Notes and Nuggets
• The tie with Hofstra got CofC out of the loss column in CAA action, but they can pick up their first conference win against a Delaware team that has limped its way to an 0-5 mark in league play
• Senior Liam Hudock, a native of Mt. Pleasant, supplied the heroics in the match against Hofstra. Hudock scored the equalizer with less than a minute to go in regulation
• On the goal, Hudock picked up the first score of his career and junior Cas Van Altena recorded his first career assist
• After a 2020 campaign that saw just three different Cougars score a goal, CofC has six unique goal scorers this season
