SAVANNAH, Ga. After postponing Wednesday’s Sun Belt (SBC) Quarterfinals due to inclement weather, the No. 5 Howard University Men’s Soccer and No. 4 Coastal Carolina (CCU) were forced to move Thursday’s match to Savannah, Ga. where the Chanticleers ended HU’s season, 2-1, at Floyd E. Morris Field.
Near the 12-minute mark, junior Daniel Hart (Silver Spring, Md.) shot 14 yards out and put the Bison ahead at intermission, 1-0. After the break, CCU’s Tsiki Ntsabeleng had his original shot blocked, but rebounded with a score in the top right corner to tie the match, 1-1.
