USC Aiken Blanks Mount Olive

Box Score MOUNT OLIVE, NC—Seniors Haroon Saleem and Quincy Cooper provided the offensive punch and junior goalkeeper Jean-Pascal Bozso made it hold up as the USC Aiken Pacers (2-3-0) blanked the home standing Mount Olive College Trojans (1-6-0) 3-0 in non-conference men's soccer action Saturday afternoon.  

Saleem was awarded a penalty kick in the 40th minute of play and converted the score by beating Trojans goalkeeper Derek Gish to make it 1-0.  For Saleem it was his second goal of the season and it was all Bozso would need as the junior net-minder recorded three saves on four shots for his first shutout of the season.  

Early in the second half, Cooper scored a rebound goal in the 54th minute to make it 2-0 in favor of USCA.  It was also his first tally of the 2002 season.  

Sophomore Cameron Butler added an insurance goal in the 80th minute off a cross from Saleem for his third of the season and set the final margin at 3-0.  

As a team, the Pacers dominated play out shooting the Trojans 19-4 for the match.  The match also marked the Pacers first game of the year without receiving a yellow card.  Mount Olive, however, was forced to play the entire second half a man down as David Nolanreceived a yellow card in the 41st minute and then a red card two minutes later.  

USC Aiken plays the final match of their six-game road swing on Wednesday, September 25 at Lander University in a 7:00 PM Peach Belt Conference contest.
