Final Stats

Washington, DC - The Charlotte 49ers (8-5-1, A-10: 2-2-1) behind goals from Kent Long, Will Shull and Andres Cuero and stout defense led by goalkeeper David Martin recorded their second straight Atlantic 10 shutout victory with a 3-0 win at George Washington (7-6-1, A-10: 1-2-1).

"It was a very hard fought Atlantic 10 game played in torrential rain," Charlotte coach Jeremy Gunn said. "The first half was a really physical battle with neither team able to score. Then, in the second half we took control of the game and played great soccer. I am also very pleased with our defensive effort with a shutout. We did a tremendous job on defense as we limited George Washington to only a couple good looks at the goal."

The 49ers scored the game's first goal when Long put his third goal of the season into the back of the net from 18-yards out off a Shull assist at the 61:19 mark of the match.

Shull quickly added to the 49ers lead when he chipped the ball over George Washington goalkeeper Matt Scheer into the goal off a Tom Woollard assist just 26 seconds later at the 61:45 mark of the match. Shull's goal was his third of the season.

Andres Cuero closed out the scoring when he beat several George Washington defenders and scored on a shot from 12-yards out off Woollard's second assist of the game at the 80:34 mark of the match. Cuero's goal was the first of his career.

 

 

George Washington finished the game with a 13-10 advantage in shots. Woollard paced the 49ers with three shots. While, Shull and Chris Salvaggione added two shots apiece to the 49ers attack.

The 49ers defense led by Martin recorded their second straight shutout and their fifth of the season. Martin recorded seven saves for his fifth shutout of the season and the 12th of his two-year career.

The 49ers travel to Richmond for an Atlantic 10 road contest, Sunday, October 28 at 2:30 pm.
