PC Draws Coastal Carolina in 1-1 Thriller

Clinton, S.C. - Presbyterian College men's soccer recorded a 1-1 draw against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on Wednesday night.  Each team had plenty of chances in the match but neither team was able to put away the match winning goal.  It was PC's second draw of the season as the Blue Hose move to 2-9-2 on the year and 1-4-2 in the Big South.  The Chanticleers move to 4-2-6 and 1-0-3 in the league with the draw.   

"Again I was very pleased with our effort tonight," said head coach Bret Boulware.  "We really created a lot of chances tonight but our finishing was lacking a bit.  I'm really excited to see what we can do when we do finish our chances."

The Blue Hose went down 1-0 on 16 minutes when Matt Schroder went free on a breakaway to put the Chanticleers up a goal.  The unassisted goal was his first of the season.

Presbyterian College equalized in the 26th minute when Paul Jackson bulged the onion sack for his second goal of the season.  He scored off an assist from Paul Gunning.  Gunning's through ball found a diving Jackson's feet at the far post to level the teams at 1-1.

PC registered a few notable chances early in the second half including a one on one shot from Sam Eastridge which was well saved by the CCU keeper.

The teams remained level for the remainder of regulation and went to golden goal overtime play.

The first ten minutes passed without incident, each team tallying unsuccessful chances.  The Chanticleers ruled the run of play in the first three minutes of the second overtime session but PC was able to regain control late.  Neither team was able to score, leaving the match as a 1-1 draw.

James Neal started the match between the pipes for PC making a save and allowing the Coastal goal in 45 minutes of work.  Andrew Wallingford was called upon at halftime and worked the remaining 65 minutes.  Wallingford made four saves en route to keeping the teams level. 

PC outshot Coastal Carolina, 15-11 and led the shots on goal count, 9-6.  Coastal was able to win 11 corner kicks while conceding just four to the Blue Hose.   The PC defense held their lines catching the Chanticleers offside 10 times in the match while the Blue Hose were only flagged once.

 Presbyterian College will now take to the road for a pair of ACC tests against Duke and NC State on the next two Tuesdays before returning home for senior day on Nov. 7 against VMI starting at 7 p.m.
