Box Score

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - It took an extra period but the No. 11 ranked University of Charleston men's soccer team stayed unbeaten with a 1-0 win over a pesky Urbana squad, Sunday afternoon.

Charleston (6-0-2) controlled the pace of the game for the duration of the contest and held an 11-0 lead in shots for the first half. The second half proved to be no different as the Golden Eagles were able to create their own opportunities seemingly at will, yet ran into a tough test between the posts as Urbana (6-3-1) goalkeeper Darragh McGinley booked 13 saves.

UC held a 22-6 advantage in shots after regulation, yet never found the net as the game was sent to an extra 10 minute period.

The turning point came as the Golden Eagles became more aggressive sending ball after ball into the Urbana zone which resulted in multiple looks on goal and finally a game-changing corner kick.  Rob Vincent (Liverpool, England ) sent the corner kick in front of the goal where Jordan Lavender (Newcastle, England) was able to redirect the ball to a charging Dan Walmsley (Manchester, England ) who put it away for the game winner.

For the afternoon the University of Charleston held a 26-7 edge in shots with McGinley putting forth a strong performance to keep his squad in the game.

Returning to conference play awaits the Golden Eagles as the team travels to Pitt-Johnstown on Thursday, Oct. 4 for a 4:00 pm contest.
