CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston women's soccer team will start the 2025 season at home versus South Carolina on Thursday, August 14 at 7:00 p.m. at Patriots Point.
The Cougars return five seniors in Lilli Ray, Bubbles Dever, Hope Slimmer, Emma Wennar, and Avery Nassetta. Faith Slimmer returns to CofC for her fifth year, joined by graduate transfer Maggie Wadsworth from Mississippi State.
Head Coach Christian Michner brings in nine newcomers and two transfers.
Wennar begins the 2025 season by being named to the Preseason All-CAA Team. Last season, the senior played 1,209 minutes, scoring nine goals. Of those nine goals, Wennar scored three game-winning goals to round out her junior season. She started in 19 games, seeing action in all 20.
Slimmer also comes into the 2025 season on the Preseason All-CAA Team. Last season, Slimmer started in 18 games, making appearances in 19, playing 1,216 minutes.
Shea Vidovic returns for the Cougars as the third leading scorer from the 2024 season. Vidovic had five goals, two assists, 18 shots on goal, and played 1,400 minutes. She started in all 20 games as a sophomore.
Nassetta comes back with the most minutes played last season, 1,512. Second only to Nassetta, Izzy Arnold is back for her junior season after playing 1,446 minutes as a sophomore.
The Cougars ended the 2024 season 11-4-5, going undefeated at home. Charleston made it to the CAA Tournament where they were ultimately defeated by Elon in the quarterfinals. CofC scored a combined 42 goals with 45 assists in the 2024 season.
The Gamecocks are returning to Charleston for the fourth time since 1996. Charleston has seen South Carolina 10 times, six times in Columbia. The Cougars are looking for their first home win against the Gamecocks. In 1997, Charleston won in Columbia 2-0, marking their best result against South Carolina.
South Carolina comes into Charleston ranked #21 by the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll. The Gamecocks finished the 2024 season 11-4-7.
Admission to the game is free. Thursday's game will feature faculty and staff appreciation night with Charleston soccer scarves as a giveaway.
