The Charlotte men’s soccer team lost on the road at No. 20 Kentucky in double-overtime after a header from the Wildcats in the 108th minute, despite out shooting Kentucky 14-to-8.

After the game, Charlotte’s head coach Kevin Langan said, “We created numerous wonderful scoring chances but we lacked a bit of luck tonight. This is a tough one to take after a wonderful performance by our team.”

That wonderful performance was led by another great defensive performance from redshirt senior Luke Waechter and keeper Elliot Panicco, holding off a high-powered Kentucky offense for almost 110 minutes.

Just minutes before the second overtime, the Wildcats earned a corner kick, sent in by Napo Matsoso.
