Coastal to face Furman on Sunday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Coastal Carolina men's soccer team fell on the road in a non-conference match to No. 10/12 Charlotte, 6-1, Wednesday night at Transamerica Field.

CCU drops to 2-3-2 overall with the loss, while Charlotte remains unbeaten and sits at 7-0-0 overall.

Sophomore goalkeeper Joey Batrouni recorded back-to-back saves for the Chanticleers before Charlotte found the back of the net just three minutes into the contest to give the 49ers a 1-0 lead.

Coastal's Alvaro Garcia-Pascual leveled the score in the 13th minute, as the sophomore converted a penalty kick following a handball call on Charlotte in the box to make the score 1-1. Notably, Garcia-Pascual's goal is just the second goal the 49ers have allowed this season.

The 49ers regained the lead in the 24th minute as Kameron Lacey sent a ball into the top left of the goal and put Charlotte up 2-1.

Following the halftime break, Charlotte sent in a corner kick that missed the heads of multiple 49ers and found Sean Suber, who connected with the ball to put the host squad in front at 3-1. Charlotte increased their lead just five minutes later on a cross from Callum Watts that Filip Jauk fired into the corner of the net to make the score 4-1.

Charlotte added two more goals in the 66th and 68th minute before Batrouni was shown his second yellow card of the match in the 68th - resulting in a red card and the Chanticleers having to play a man down the remainder of the match.

Batrouni finished the night with six saves, while Randy Burkhardt saw his first minutes of the season between the pipes and tallied two saves.

Between the two teams, 29 fouls were called and five cards were shown. Charlotte found the advantage in total shots 17-8, while Coastal won the corner kick battle 9-7.

Coastal Carolina returns to action on Sunday, Sept 25, as the Chanticleers get set for their final non-conference match of the season against Furman in Greenville, S.C.
