Clinton, S.C. - Presbyterian College women's soccer conceded two goals early but answered when it counted to earn a 2-2 draw against Coastal Carolina on Friday night.  Katie Hunter was the hero of the evening with two goals to bring the Blue Hose even with the Chanticleers on the evening.  The draw also gives PC their first conference point of the season, moving the Blue Hose out of tenth place and into a tie for ninth. 

"I am really proud of our effort and character tonight," said head coach Brian Purcell.  "I don't think we played badly in the first half but we showed character in bringing the match back even especially after the way we've played recently." 

The Blue Hose (3-8-1, 0-3-1 BSC) caught a fortuitous break in the 11th minute when an apparent Chanticleer (4-10-2, 2-2-1 BSC) goal was disallowed by way of the offsides flag.

Eerie moments came just after the quarter of an hour mark when a large fog bank rolled across Edens Field which made visibility difficult at best for the majority of the game.  The fog would lift in the 80^th minute. 

PC's first shot came with eighteen and a half minutes remaining before halftime when Stephanie Aaron's volley attempt from 20 yards sailed wide.  The shot ended a run of nine straight Chanticleer shots.

In the 31^st minute, Coastal went up 1-0 on a goal from Dana Gentile.  She was assisted on her eighth goal of the season by Anna Tupy. 

The second goal for the Chanticleers came in the 38^th minute when Tupy posted an unassisted effort for her third goal of the season.

Coming out of the halftime break, Presbyterian College cut the deficit to one when Hunter notched her first goal of the season off a corner kick from Stephanie Aaron.  The tally ended a string of four matches without a goal which ran nearly a month.

In the 71^st minute, Morgan Fragapane went free on goal and hit the shot that looked to be the equalizer but it hit the left post and stayed out, denying Fragapane her second goal of the season.

The equalizer came in the 79^th minute when Hunter scored yet again off a rebounded shot off the boot of Britney Horton.  It was her second goal of the night making her the first Blue Hose player since 2007 to score more than one goal in a match.  Her brace makes her one of only three players since the Division I transition to score multiple goals in a match for PC.

The teams stayed on level terms for the remainder of regulation with each team getting two scoring opportunities in the final ten minutes.

With four minutes remaining in the first overtime session, Coastal Carolina was had their second goal of the night disallowed on offsides.  The goal, had it gone in, would have given the Chanticleers the win.

The final fifteen minutes played out with each team taking chances but there was nothing to separate the teams.  The tie is PC's first of the season while Coastal Carolina takes the result for the second time this season. 

Abby Young started the match between the pipes for PC and made two saves while allowing both goals in the first half of play.  She was replaced at the break by Sarah Beth Anderson who made seven saves in 65 minutes of work keeping a second half and overtime clean sheet.

Presbyterian College will return to action on Sunday afternoon for a matinee against Charleston Southern starting at 2 p.m.
