CONWAY, S.C. – Head coach Shaun Docking and the Coastal Carolina men's soccer team will wrap up a three-game road trip on Sunday in a non-conference match at Furman. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET from Greenville, S.C.
 
COASTAL VS. FURMAN
Sunday's match marks just the seventh meeting between CCU and Furman, with the Paladins holding a 3-2-1 advantage over the Chants. 
 
The two programs last faced off on Sept. 12, 2014, in Conway, a 1-0 Furman victory.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Coastal looks to return to the win column after falling on the road in a non-conference matchup against then-No.10/12 Charlotte, 6-1, on Wednesday night. 
 
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 Joey 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.
