After an entire week since Charleston last played on September 29^th, the Golden Eagles' time off and the use of 24 different players proved helpful as UC soared past Glenville State 3-1 on Senior Night.
 
Following 37 minutes of scoreless soccer to begin the match, Charleston found their way onto the scoreboard after Keira Hill scored her first goal of the game off a touch from Alana Mikulis. For Hill, it was her team-leading forth goal of the season while Mikulis notched her 12^th career assist for the Golden Eagles.
 
Charleston would extend their lead with just under four minutes remaining in the half after a goal from Evelina Von Euler pushed the UC lead to 2-0. In the 56^th minute, Hill would score her second goal of the contest off an assist from Von Euler to put UC ahead 3-0. The two-goal game for Hill marked her third career multi-goal game for the Golden Eagles.
 
Glenville State would push their way onto the board with just under 15 minutes to play after Jordan Cole was assisted by Julia Lesko.
 
Overall, the Golden Eagles were able to put 13 shots up against the Pioneers, 11 on net as Goalkeeper Morgan Smailes recorded eight saves. UC Keeper Kaylee Hensley recorded two saves on three Pioneer shots.
