The Campbell women's soccer team traveled to Conway, South Carolina, where they faced Coastal Carolina in a tightly contested match that ended 2‑1 in favor of the hosts.
Early Dominance
Coastal Carolina struck first, capitalizing on early pressure to build a 2‑0 lead before the halftime break, a momentum shift that set the tone for the rest of the game.
A Spark of Hope
After the break, Campbell found a spark of hope when Olivia Vandre converted a second‑half chance, her third goal of the season and her second consecutive game on the scoresheet.
The Camels pressed forward, generating 14 shots and five corners, while midfielder Gillian Garrison drew a foul that could have narrowed the gap further, though the resulting free kick was missed.
Abby Connolly led the attack with three shots on goal, but Coastal Carolina's goalkeeper Anais van Doesburg made three crucial saves to preserve the lead.
Looking Ahead
Despite the narrow loss, the result lifted Coastal Carolina to 4‑1 on the season and moved Campbell to 2‑3‑1, but the Camels now face a demanding stretch of three straight matches, beginning Thursday against Queens at the Eakes Athletics Complex.
