Box Score

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. – Junior Stephanie Haugh scored in the 21^st minute to lead the Kent State women's soccer team to a 1-0 win over the College of Charleston at Patriots Point on Sunday afternoon. The victory improved the Golden Flashes to 4-2 overall, while the Cougars dropped to 2-4. Haugh and seniors Katherine Lawrence and Morgan Mah earned a spot on the All-Tournament team for their solid effort throughout the weekend.

"I was very happy with how the team came out and competed today," said Head Coach Rob Marinaro. "It was a solid road win against a good team."

Kent State senior Jaclyn Dutton earned her first point of the season when she assisted in today's game-winning goal. Dutton played the ball over the middle to Haugh, who scored her first goal of the season on the volley, to give the Flashes a 1-0 lead over the Cougars.

The Golden Flashes kept the College of Charleston goalkeepers busy, as Dutton fired off a shot just one minute later, but was stopped by Eli Sarasola. Another good look came in the 33^rd minute when Calli Rinicella ripped a shot toward the net but was sent away by Sarasola.

Kent State led 8-5 in shots in the first period and also had the lone corner kick. Goalkeepers Stephanie Senn and Sarasola each had three saves entering halftime.

The College of Charleston came out on the attack after the intermission. In the 57^th minute, Senn made a diving save after a shot by McCallie Jones, and Danielle Mellem had two good looks over the next 10 minutes that were picked up by Senn to remain with a lead that would eventually win the game.

Kent State edged the Cougars in shots, 12-11, and led 4-0 in corner kicks. Senn had a season-high eight saves in 90 minutes in goal, while Taylor Avery and Eli Sarasola combined for five saves in goal for Charleston.

The Golden Flashes will remain on the road to play Cincinnati at 1 p.m. on Sept. 15. Kent State will then host Youngstown State (9/20), Central Michigan (9/27) and Bowling Green (9/29).
