CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Charleston Southern soccer team dominated Gardner-Webb University to the tune of a 25-5 shot advantage, but the Buccaneers were never able to crack the defense in a 1-0 loss to the Bulldogs Saturday night at Blackbaud Stadium.

CSU (12-5-2, 5-2-2 Big South Conference) was celebrating Senior Night, honoring current players Sarah Catenacci, Jena Lalich, Alicyne Smith, Lindsey Trexler, Jen Vroman, and former Buc Alissa Schoblaski.

Gardner-Webb (12-8-0, 6-3-0 BSC) took control in the first 15 minutes, and got on the board in the 16th minute when Megan Reimer got loose in the box. Kasey Gladhill found her with a hopeful cross after taking a run down the flank, and Reimer was able to get behind her defender and put a first touch on the ball that went past Lalich.

The Bulldogs never took another shot on goal in the match, and only mustered three shots total the rest of the way.

Charleston Southern had 19 shots in the second half and pummeled the Gardner-Webb defense with balls coming in from every angle. CSU had a hard time getting balls into the box, however, and settled too many times for speculative shots from distance.

There were four corner kick opportunities in the second half and the Buccaneers nearly scored on three of them, with Caitlin Wesnesky and Catenacci narrowly missing headers.

The intense pressure from CSU rattled the Bulldogs, and it showed as Gardner-Webb finished with a 17-7 advantage in fouls against.

Despite the frustrations from the GWU side, the Buccaneers were still unable to earn a point on Senior Night.

Lalich (7-2-2) allowed one goal and did not record a save in 90 minutes of work, and Samantha Rupert (10-7-0) recorded a clean sheet with nine saves in 90 minutes.

Catenacci led all players with six shots, and Trexler and Olivia Urig were second with five each.

Charleston Southern ends the regular season with 17 points in conference action, and GWU jumped the Buccaneers, finishing with 18 points.

The Buccaneers finish the regular season in third place and will await the result of the High Point University-University of North Carolina Asheville match Sunday, which will determine who CSU plays in the first round of the Big South Conference Tournament.

The tournament will be played at Blackbaud Stadium, and CSU will play its first game at 7 p.m. Nov. 5. If High Point defeats UNCA, than the Buccaneers will play Virginia Military Institute in the first round. If HPU draws or loses to the Bulldogs, than CSU will play Radford University in the first round.
