CCU returns home to host Georgia State, Sunday

BOONE, N.C. – The Coastal Carolina women's soccer team fought until the end but fell on the road, 2-1, to Appalachian State on Thursday night in a Sun Belt Conference matchup.

With the loss, the Chanticleers drop to 1-6-2 overall and 0-2-0 in SBC play while the Mountaineers improve 3-3-4 overall and 2-0-0 in league action with the win.

Sophomore goalkeeper Hope Morrow recorded back-to-back stops for the Chanticleers before Coastal recorded its first shot of the night in the 18th minute as Julia Ziegenfuss attempted to put the Chants up early but it was scooped up by the App State goalkeeper.

Both teams combined for 17 total shots in the first half, with App State outshooting Coastal 14-3 at the halftime break, and the two teams headed into the locker room locked at 0-0.

After a scoreless first half, the Mountaineers tallied the first goal of the night just 56 seconds into the second half to put the host squad up 1-0 as Emma McGibany connected on a cross from Breckyn Monteith.

Coastal Carolina's Cami Wiles dribbled around an App State defender before firing a ball that found the head of a diving Ziegenfuss to level the score at 1-1 in the 81st minute. However, 30 seconds later the Mountaineers responded to make the score 2-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining in the contest.

The Chanticleers looked to respond over the remaining minutes of the match but were unable to find the equalizer.

CCU returns home to the CCU Soccer Stadium as the Chanticleers close out the month of September, playing host to Georgia State on Sunday, Sept. 25 at noon ET.
