The exhibition was played in three 30 minute periods with a five minute intermission between each period as opposed to two 45 minute halves.
Junior Ashley Day put Coastal on the scoreboard in the 14th minute of the third period of play as she gathered in a loose ball in the box and fired it into the back of the net to even the score at one. Six minutes later, Day once again collected a rebound off the hands of the Bulldogs' keeper and slotted the ball into the lower left end of the net.
Sophomore Christina Stern would add an insurance goal for the Chants as she beat the South Carolina State keeper on one-v-one in the 77th total minute of play.
Coastal Carolina started the game with a quick scoring opportunity as Cisca Okoko sent a ball just over the crossbar in the first minute of play. South Carolina held possession for the majority of the remainder of the period as the Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute once Darci Smith found the net.
After holding the visitors to two shots in the first period of play, the Chants defense did not allow the visitors to get off another shot, outshooting the Bulldogs 10-2 in the match. Coastal also ended the match with a stout 7-0 advantage in corner kicks.
Megan Spencer started in goal for Coastal allowing one goal on two shots. Freshman Saundra Baron played 60 minutes between the pipes without facing a shot.
