CHARLESTON, S.C. - Chelsea Frankeny recorded her second career collegiate goal, tying up the match in the second half at Blackbaud Stadium as Charleston Southern took on the College of Charleston for the Silver Cup. However, a pair of second half scores by Sarah Schaidle led the Cougars to the win as CofC took down the Buccaneers, 3-1.

Frankeny evened the match up at 1-1 at the 54:36 mark, bringing the ball in from the left corner of the field and rolled a shot past a diving Taylor Avery into the bottom left corner of the net for her second collegiate goal in three games. Frankeny previous scored the game-winner in the Buccaneers' season opening victory over USC Upstate, 2-1 back on August 20th.

"She's a goal scorer and finds a way to put the ball in the back of the net," commented head coach Eric Terrill on Frankeny's early season success. "I think in some respects we're starting to sort things out on our attack, but we're still not finishing as many goals as we should be. We need to sort some things out on defense, and that's something we'll have to focus on as we get into the conference season."

College of Charleston (1-2) opened the scoring in the match as Nicole Koretsky one-timed Sarah Caramone's pass through the box, driving her shot into the upper left corner of the net to put the Cougars ahead at the 19:36 mark in the match.

CSU (1-2) nearly answered less than 30 seconds later as Allison Lewis blasted a shot from 30 yards out. Her shot attempt was tipped by Avery into the crossbar and rebounded back onto the field as the CofC keeper kept the Buccaneers at bay.

Schaidle gave the Cougars the 2-1 lead less than a minute after Frankeny's equalizer as Cardamone again crossed a ball into the box in front of the CSU keeper. Schaidle collected the ball and fired into the lower left corner at the 55:29 mark to put CofC back in the lead.

Schaidle put the match away late, scoring at the 85:51 mark, collecting a Buccaneers' clear attempt at the top of the box and lifted a shot into the upper left corner of the net to close out the scoring.

College of Charleston outshot the Buccaneers 21-8 and held the edge on corner kicks as well, 8-1 in recording the win.

"College of Charleston is a good team and they dominated the ball today," said Terrill on the match. "I'm not happy with where we're at as a team and we'll keep working at it as the season progresses and need to take advantage of the opportunities we have when they present themselves."

Charleston Southern returns home to the friendly confines of the CSU Soccer Field as the Buccaneers host Northern Iowa on Friday, September 7th. Kickoff for the match is set for 4 p.m.
