Coastal Carolina women’s soccer team to battle Georgia State in first round
CONWAY – The Coastal Carolina women's soccer team will travel to Foley, Ala., on Wednesday, for the Sun Belt Women's Soccer Championships. For the second consecutive year, the Chanticleers will take on Georgia State in the first round of the conference tournament.
Coastal enters the postseason on a two-game winning streak after closing out the season on the road with a 2-1 win over Arkansas State followed by a 1-0 victory over ULM for a 7-8-2 overall record and 5-4-1 record in conference action.
The Chanticleers offense is led by Sunny Sigurvinsdottir and Hannah Miller, each tallying six goals apiece on the season while senior Gabby Smychynsky follows with three goals on the year.
Defensively, the tandem of Rylee Atteberry and Ky Hudson have split time between the pipes for CCU to make 56 saves combined. Mackenzie Cherry and Kylie Bostick have teamed up on the backline to help allow just 29 goals on the season.

Jimena Cabrero leads the Georgia State offensive attack with five goals and two assists while Brooke Shank and Liz Fogarty each have tallied three goals apiece.
Defensively, Kendra Clarke has seen the bulk of the action in goal making 37 saves while allowing just 13 goals.

Sigurvinsdottir scored the eventual game-winning goal in the 77th minute unassisted to take the team lead in goals scored.
