Washington, D.C. - After surrendering an early goal, CSU (1-0)stormed back to score five unanswered goals, including two in the first five minutes of the second half, in the season opening game against the Howard Bison (0-2).
It took one half of play for the Buccaneers to find the goal, but after that point, there was no stopping an offense that dominated the rest of the game.
Lindsey Trexler scored the Buccaneer's first goal in the 47th minute followed closely by Sarah Catenacci in the 49th minute. Emma Mattsson scored the next two goals for the Buccaneer's while Karen Knight scored the team's fifth goal off a penalty kick in the 68th minute of the game to close out the scoring.
Charleston Southern will host the Big South Challenge this weekend, facing Wofford on Saturday, and Appalachian State on Monday. Both games will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the CSU soccer field.
Game Note: For a five minute span of the second half, the Bison played with one man down.
