Box Score


PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The No. 25 ranked University of Charleston men's soccer team found themselves in unfamiliar territory as Philadelphia University outshot the Golden Eagles 23-16 in a season opening 1-1 draw, Thursday evening.

The Golden Eagles (0-0-1) took a 1-0 advantage in the 32nd minute on Renan Ramos' (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) first career goal.  Ramos buried a shot from the penalty area after getting a centering pass from Nathan Schmitt (Muskegon, MI).

Philadelphia got on the scoreboard in the 62nd minute when Ishmaiah Calwrie found the back of the net from the penalty area by slipping the ball into the lower right corner of the net to deadlock the game a 1-1.

The single goal score held up despite multiple looks on goal by Charleston down the stretch including a 25-yard blast by Brett Elliott (Newcastle, England) that narrowly missed slipping under the crossbar for the game winner with just over a minute remaining in the first overtime.

Charleston keeper Sean Teepen (Cincinnati, OH ) made 10 saves in the contest, six coming in the second half. The Rams outshot UC, 23-16.

The Golden Eagles get little reprieve on the schedule as they now continue their season opening road tour with a stop at No. 4 ranked Millersville on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 2:00 pm. Live stats for the big regional matchup will be available here at ucgoldeneagles.com.
