Bobcats Claw Past Shorthanded Pacers, 4-0

Box Score AIKEN, SC--After playing Lees-McRae College (13-4-0) even for more than 57 minutes, the USC Aiken (6-9-0) defense broke down allowing three goals in less than six minutes in falling 4-0 in men's non-conference soccer action Monday night in Aiken, SC.  For the Pacers, it was their third straight loss.  The match was suspended for 30 minutes due to lightning in the area at the 71:07 mark of the second half.

Jean-Pascal Bozso logged 69:01 in net for the Pacers surrendering three goals and recording three saves.  Peter Calabresereplaced Bozso in goal and finished out the final 20:59, allowing one goal while making two saves.  

???????Lekan Ojeshina capped the scoring at 85:32 off a Nick Young pass to set the final margin at 4-0.
