COLUMBIA, SC - Charlotte behind David McGill's game winning goal defeated #22 South Carolina 2-1 on the road.

South Carolina tied the score at one when Jack Cummings scored at the 33:28 mark.

The 49ers took the lead for good at the 71:23 mark when David McGill connected on a header in front of the goal mouth off Evitts' second assist of the game. McGill's shot from about ten yards out went over the outstretched hands of South Carolina goalkeeper Henry Ring.

Charlotte's defense held off South Carolina for the final 18 minutes to record their first victory over South Carolina since 1996.

Charlotte returns home to host crosstown rival Davidson, Thursday, September 7 at 7 pm.
