CHANTICLEERS NOTABLES
CHANTS LAST TIME OUT
The Chanticleers fell on the road to the UNCW Seahawks on Sunday night, 3-1 in Wilmington, N.C.
UNCW tallied its first two goals of the match 13 minutes apart, as Jordan Faveri headed in a pass from teammate Talia Parrous in the 10th minute to make the score 1-0 in favor of the host. Madison Henry sent in a shot that found the head of Kayla Burroughs on a Seahawks' set piece to put the home team up 2-0 just 23 minutes into the match.
Behrmann cut UNCW's lead in half and scored the Chants' lone goal of the night to make the score 2-1 with just under 10 minutes to play in the contest. In traffic, the junior connected on a deflection off the Seahawks' keeper that she was able to send into the back of the net to get the Chants on the scoreboard.
However, just two minutes after Coastal Carolina's goal, UNCW tallied its final goal of the night when Talia Parrous' shot went off the crossbar and into the bottom left corner of the goal to make the score 3-1.
