Golden Eagles Defeat Glenville State 3-0

The UC Golden Eagles Women's Soccer team defeated the Pioneers of Glenville State 3-0 on Wednesday evening behind a trio of goals in the 59th, 72nd, and 84th minutes from Kassandra Demps, Alex Speight, and McKenna Sullivan to move the Golden Eagles 4-3-0 on the season.
 
JUST THE BASICS:
 
Score: Charleston 3, Glenville State 0
Location: Glenville, W.Va.
Records: Charleston (4-3-0, 2-1 MEC), Wesleyan (2-4-0, 0-2 MEC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
Coming off a 1-0 win against West Virginia Wesleyan on Sunday that marked the Golden Eagles first win against the Bobcats since 2016, UC moved to 2-1 in Mountain East play with a Thursday evening win over Glenville State. The game remained scoreless at the half despite eight shots from the Golden Eagles who were able to contain the Pioneers by not allowing a shot in the half.
 
Nearly 15 minutes into the second half is when UC found their way on the board after a ball deep in the Golden Eagle offensive zone found Keira Hill who passed it off to Demps for the Charleston score. The goal marked the third of her career for Demps with the Golden Eagles. The half remained quiet for the Pioneers, as they produced just two shots, none of which found UC Goalkeeper Kaylee Hensley who recorded her fourth career solo shutout. It was the first time since September 20th of the 2018 campaign against Shepherd that the Golden Eagles defense did not allow a shot on goal.
 
After coming off the bench in the 64th minute for the Golden Eagles, Speight was able to score her first career goal in the 72nd minute after being fed a pass from Sullivan who then found herself one-on-one with the Glenville State Goalkeeper Morgan Smailes to give UC a 2-0 lead.
 
In the 84th minute, Sullivan carried the ball 35-yards out before rifling a shot into the upper right-hand corner of the net to put UC ahead 3-0. The goal was Sullivan's third of the season, leading all UC scorers on the season.
 
Overall, the Golden Eagles were able to put 22 shots up against the Pioneers, the most since October 2018 when they shot the ball 34 times in a 5-0 win also against Glenville State.
 
Charleston will return home on Sunday to face MEC foe Concord with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at the Welch Athletic Complex.
