The 14th-ranked Charlotte men’s soccer team defeated the Winthrop Eagles 2-0 on the road Tuesday night, using goals from Harrison Steadman and Matej Decovic to earn their sixth win (6-1) this season.
Steadman, a junior from New Jersey, tallied his team-leading fifth goal in the eighth minute, capitalizing on a brilliant cross from Zhuvonte Wilson, giving the 49ers a 1-0 advantage.
In the minutes following Wilson’s goal, the 49ers fired off multiple shots to the Winthrop goalie, Kenneth Perkinson, coming from senior-captain Brandt Bronico, Callum Montgomery and Decovic, one of his four shots on the day.
Going into halftime, the 49ers were in full control on the road, firing off 10 shots, looking to find another insurance goal for Elliot Panicco and the Charlotte backline.
