CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Charleston Southern soccer team was originally scheduled to play University of South Carolina-Upstate at 4 p.m. today at Buccaneer Field. Recent weather in the area has made the field unplayable, and the game has been moved to Blackbaud Stadium with game time remaining at 4 p.m.
PREVIEW
CSUhas opened the 2009 campaign with a 2-0 record after taking down Georgia Southern 2-1 and Alabama State 14-0. This is the first time since 2006 the Lady Bucs have been able to win their first two games of the season. CSU will look to improve that record to 3-0 when they play host to University of South Carolina-Upstate at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Buccaneer Field.
The Spartans are 0-2 this year, having lost both games to Navy and Furman University by identical 3-0 scores.
USC-Upstate finished last year with a 3-16 mark, and a 1-10 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference. One of those three wins came Aug. 25 in a 2-1 victory over Charleston Southern.
The Spartans return three goal scorers from last season in Crystal Hackett (1g-2a=4p), Alyssa Roegner (1g-1a=3a) and Catherine Nolff (1g-0a=2a). Hackett assisted on the game-winning goal against the Buccaneers last season. Kelsey Shinn leads the team in shots through two games this year with four, and no other player has more than one.
