After both teams failed to mark in the first half, Turner opened the scoring up early in the second half, breaking the scoreless deadlock in the 50th minute off a pass from Mamadou Ndoye.  John
Powell
 recorded his first of two Eagle goals in the 53rd minute to again tie the game.  But Turner tallied his second marker of the game in the 67th minute off a cross from AJ Ikourou to put the Pacers ahead to stay.

Paul Okumu added an insurance goal in the 77th minute on a beautiful setup from Richard Wolf and Turner.  A late goal by Powellin the 85th minute turned Okumu's goal into the game winner.

Jean-Pascal Bozso recorded seven saves for the Pacers who will next face North Florida on Saturday, September 22 at 7:00 PM.
