CHARLESTON, S.C. – UNCG sophomore Rakel Logadottir recorded three assists and freshman Cara Hammond scored her team-leading eighth goal of the season as the Spartans and the College of Charleston tied, 3-3, in Southern Conference women's soccer action.

UNCG (4-9-1, 1-4-1 SoCon) jumped out to a two-goal lead just 20-minutes into the match. Hammond (Fr./Howell, NJ) put the Spartans up, 1-0, off a corner kick at 10:42. Logad?ttir (So./ Hafnarfjordur, Iceland) and Jennifer Kennedy (Sr./Summerfield, NC) were credited with assists.

UNCG added to its lead just eight minutes later. Dacia Beachum (Fr./Raleigh, NC) added her third goal of the season, all in the last four games. Beachum followed Logad?ttir's blast that was saved and slipped the rebound past College of Charleston goalkeeper Alice Keeney at 18:45.

The Cougars (3-6-3, 1-3-1 SoCon) narrowed the deficit to a single goal. Sydney Strong was awarded a penalty kick and beat UNCG goalkeeper Jennifer Stillman.

The Spartans took the lead into intermission, but surrendered a pair of goals over the first 15-minutes of the second-half. Carolyn Morris tied the score, 2-2, at 46:56 when she scored on a rebound. It was Morris' sixth goal of the season. Then, at 58:18, Joanne Hunter recorded her first goal of the season.

Looking at its eight straight loss overall and fifth consecutive in the SoCon, the Spartans rallied in the final 15-minutes for the equalizer. UNCG pounded the Cougar goal and finally tied the match. Logad?ttir beat a CofC defender and whipped in a beautiful cross that Amy Carnell headed home for her fourth goal of the season.

The game stayed tied throughout the two 10-minute overtime periods, but Jaime Ableman did have a golden opportunity. The sophomore drilled the cross bar in the 108th minute.

The Spartans out shot the Cougars, 21-12, but Keeney kept CofC in the match. The netminder registered 10 saves on the day.

UNCG remains in the 10th place in the SoCon. The Spartans return to action this Sunday afternoon with The Citadel. Kick-off at the UNCG Soccer Stadium is slated for 2 p.m.

After Sunday's match with The Citadel, the Spartans host Wofford, Furman and Davidson to close out the conference regular season. The Terriers, Paladins and Wildcats are currently 1-2-3 in the league. Most likely to ensure a tournament berth, UNCG must win three of its four remaining league matches.
