The Charlotte 49ers men's soccer team played to a 0-0 tie against the Coastal Carolina University Chanticleers. It was Charlotte's first game at Transamerica Field since losing in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in November to UNC Wilmington.
Scoring chances were few and far between during the defensive slugfest that garnered no goals for either team. Charlotte scored a goal late in the first half but it was disallowed due to an offside call. Junior forward Evan James came up with the Charlotte's other prime scoring chance when he sent a point-blank shot soaring over the crossbar midway through the first half.
Charlotte maintained possession for much of the game and held a 15-10 shot advantage when things were all said and done. The Niners also had six corner kicks compared to just one for Coastal.
"I thought we came out and played very well in the first half, we took the game to Coastal and created some great chances," Charlotte head coach Jeremy Gunn said. "Coastal is a team that's renowned for defending very well and they kept it real tight in the second half."
