Charlotte falls 1-0 to in-state rival UNC Greensboro
Sept. 19, 2007
Charlotte, N.C. - Despite holding an 11-6 shot advantage at the half, the Charlotte 49ers men's soccer team fell 1-0 to in-state rival UNC Greensboro Wednesday evening, pushing its record back to 3-3-0. At the end of regulation, the Spartans enjoyed a 17-15 shot advantage.
"In the first half, I thought we played very well with possession going back and forth," head coach Jeremy Gunn said. "In the second half, though, we slipped as UNC Greensboro became more determined."
"In the end, we waited to see what would happen late in the game, while UNC Greensboro made things happen."
Charlotte slips to 6-6 in the series with UNC Greensboro.
The Spartans tallied the contest's lone goal with just over 15 minutes left in regulation, as Corey Maret connected off assists from Nirav Kadam and Travis Young.
The 49ers attempted to answer as a last-minute shot bounced off the left goal post.
Junior Chris Salvaggione led Charlotte in shots with five, while senior Tom Woollard contributed four.
The 49ers return to action Saturday at Transamerica Field when they host Presbyterian at 7 p.m.
