ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville Men's Soccer fell by a score of 1-0 in the Big South Conference tournament quarterfinals to visiting USC Upstate on Wednesday (Nov. 4) at Greenwood Field.
Â
The teams traded runs, chances and possession throughout the first half, but the horn sounded through 45 minutes with no score. USC Upstate outshot Asheville 3-2 in the opening half, and the Spartans also registered the two lone corner kicks in the half. As the rain fell down and pace slowed on the field, offense for both teams did pick up. Just over four minutes into the second half, Upstate would break through for the game's only goal when Christian Cook fed a ball across the box that found David Palade. Palade scored his fourth of the season that would ultimately serve as the winner in the match as USC Upstate would advance to the Big South Conference semifinals. Asheville had the better of the chances in the second half with 11 shots to Upstate's eight in the frame, but the Bulldogs were unable to find the back of the net.
Â
Asheville registered 13 shots to Upstate's 11 in the match, including 5-3 in shots on goal. Asheville also registered six corner kicks to Upstate's four in the match. Matteo Samori paced the offense with three shots in the match, while Lennart Granzow, Woody Angell, Tyler Ware and Louie Salkeld each had two shots in the match. Kayoum M'Bamba and Dwayne Campina Do Vale also each had one shot in the match, while Lucca Barros made two saves in the contest.
