CONWAY, S.C. - The Coastal Carolina men's soccer team looks for its second straight conference win when the Chanticleers return home to host Presbyterian Saturday night at 7 p.m. from the Coastal Carolina Soccer Field.
Coastal Carolina (5-4-1, 1-1-0) picked up its first win of the season Monday with a 1-0 victory at VMI to improve to 12-0 all-time against the Keydets. Rodrigo Vianna netted a header off a cross from Luis Faz to record his first goal of the season and lead Coastal to victory.
Chanticleer keeper Scott Angevine picked up his fourth shutout of the season and enters the weekend ranked first in the Big South with a 0.77 goals against average. The Kansas City, Kan., native has turned in shutouts in two of his last three games.
Pedro Ribero and Ross Kelly continue to lead the Chants on the offensive end of the field with seven points. The duo has both scored three goals and recorded one assist and is ranked tied for eighth in the conference in goals scored.
Justin Portillo leads the team with four assists and currently ranks fourth in the Big South in that department.
Presbyterian (1-7-1, 0-3-0) enters the weekend riding a seven-game losing streak after falling 2-1 to UNC Asheville in overtime Tuesday night. The Blue Hoes have not won a game since opening the season with a 2-1 victory over Furman Sept. 4.
Junior midfielder Stephen Glover and senior defender Logan Huff are tied for the team lead with four points on two goals.
"We are excited about having the opportunity to play at home again after a long stretch of tough games on the road," Coastal head coach Shaun Docking said. "It's always exciting to play in front of our own fans and feed off the support that they provide us."
