  Series History | Last Meeting
Wednesday will be the 15th meeting between Presbyterian and Charleston Southern. Presbyterian trails the all-time series, 6-7-1, but have won the past two matches. A 2-1 OT win in 2019 and a 1-0 OT win this past spring sees the Blue Hose in good form over the Buccaneers.
 
Scouting the Buccaneers
Charleston Southern is 1-4-1 on the season. Their only win came in a non-conference matchup on September 12 against Jacksonville, defeating the Dolphins 2-1.
 
The head coach for the Buccaneers is Jose Gomez. He is in his 2nd year.
 
Last Time Out
The Presbyterian College women's soccer team had an incredible second half performance that saw Sophia Thomson score her first career goal and Megan Slattery record her first career assist, but it was not enough in the end as the Blue Hose fell, 2-1.
 
Freshmen Finding Their Feet
All eight freshmen have seen playing time this season due to a shortened bench due to injuries. Head Coach Brian Purcell has had options when it comes to who plays where and has mixed around the lineup.
 
Lawrence, Serrano Climbing the Ranks
Seniors Kori Lawrence and Megan Serrano have made quite the mark so far in their collegiate careers. Through their three years, they have inched their way towards all-time records in
Presbyterian's DI era.
 
Lawrence, the team's leading scorer a season ago, is currently ranked 4th in goals in her career with 11. She also sits sixth in assists with six. Serrano earned three wins last season which gives her 11 in her career. After a win against Alabama State, she is only one win away from becoming Presbyterian's all-time wins leader in the DI era. She also is placed third with 188 saves.
 
In Elite Company
Head coach Brian Purcell is in his 33rd season at the helm of the PC women's soccer program. Only six other coaches in NCAA history have coached for 30+ years with the same school, and Purcell is one of only three coaches to still be the only coach in program history. North Carolina's Anson Dorrance has spent 45 seasons with the Tar Heels, and Jerry Smith has spent 37 seasons with Santa Clara.
