CHARLESTON, S.C. – No. 4 South Carolina women’s soccer earned a 2-0 win over the College of Charleston in Thursday night’s exhibition match at Patriots Point Stadium.
Freshman forward Luciana Zullo and senior striker Savannah McCaskill found the back of the net for the Gamecocks, who outshot the Cougars 18-5 for the game.
“I’m pleased with the results,” South Carolina women’s soccer coach Shelley Smith said. “I’m more pleased we got a chance to play everyone who was healthy. We have a lot of new faces playing their first collegiate game, and I thought everyone did really well. We put a full effort out there and did some things on the field that we’ve been working on.”
Carolina opens the regular season with a pair of home matches against UCF (Aug. 18) and Florida Gulf Coast (Aug. 20). Both games at Stone Stadium kick off at 7 p.m., and next Friday’s season opener against the Knights will air on SEC Network.
