Despite taking 7 first half shots, Jamison Calhoun and the CU defense held the Eagles scoreless. The Bruins and Eagles were locked in a scoreless tie after the first 45 minutes. That all changed at the 53:13 mark when Trinity Gray converted the Hayden Pacheco assist into a 1-0 lead for Carolina University. However, Life University came alive late and scored 2 goals in the final 10 minutes to clinch the 2-1 win.

With the win, Life University moves to 2-0 on the season. Carolina University is now 1-3, but has a great opportunity to bounce back on October 21st. The Bruins will host Belmont Abbey College in their home opener, and first match of a 3 game home stand.
