CCU Downs Howard in Overtime

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Romario Piggott’s goal in the 93rd minute leads Coastal Carolina to a hard-fought 2-1 overtime victory over Howard in the next-to-last match of the season.

It was a match that saw the Chanticleers out shoot the Bison 16-11 and 12-6 in shots on goal, but Piggott’s goal was the only goal that was scored by the team that was supposed to score.

The first two goals of the match came in own goal fashion. The first gave the Chants a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Miguel Gutierrez took a free kick which Howard, trying to kick out from the goal, actually knocked the ball into the net to give CCU a 1-0 lead.
