The streak is tied for second longest in KU history, matching the 2004 Golden Bears. The school record is 12 straight, set in 2003.

At the 32:25 mark of the game, Chelsea Bressler (fr. Cleona/Annville-Cleona) was taken down inside the box while on a breakaway, which forced a penalty kick.

Carolynne Kahl (so. Bethel/Tulpehocken) took the penalty kick and scored what proved to be the winning margin.

Steph Addleman (fr. Chambersburg/Chambersburg) made four saves to hold the Golden Eagles (5-8) scoreless. It was her fifth shutout as a freshman.

KU outshot Charleston by a 10-4 margin and held the advantage in corner kicks 4-1.

"This was a nice result for us on the road. We managed to keep possession of the ball and we had Charleston chasing in the first half," KU head coach Erik Burstein said "The second half we did not see as much of the ball as I would have liked, but we defended very well, especially in the midfield, and stayed organized for the entire 90 minutes. Just a good solid overall performance."

The Golden Bears will host Shepherd University at Keystone Field at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
