AIKEN, S.C. – Two second-half goals lifted the University of South Carolina Aiken women's soccer team over the Wolves of Newberry 2-0 in non-conference action at the "Pacer Pit" Wednesday evening.

With their second win in a row, the Pacers improve to 4-10-1 overall for the 2010 campaign while Newberry falls to 3-11 for the 2010 season.

The game passed into the second half scoreless as neither team was able to find the back of the net until Madeline Fellabom (Mount Pleasant, S.C./Wando) scored off a penalty kick in the 82nd minute to put USC Aiken ahead 1-0 with just under 10 minutes left in regulation.

The Pacers kept the pressure on the Wolves in the waning moments, looking for one more goal to put the match out of Newberry's reach.

USC Aiken found just that in the 88th minute when Newberry's netminder advanced out from between the pipes just enough to allow Alex Cohen to set up Katie Rumble for her third goal of the season. Cohen (Evans, Ga./Greenbrier) sent a soft shot just past the goalkeeper towards goal giving Rumble (Aiken, S.C./South Aiken) an empty net to chip the ball into putting the Pacers up 2-0.

USC Aiken was able to claim the win despite being out shot by Newberry 16-9. The Pacers' freshmen netminders Alli Edens (Lexington, S.C./College of Charleston) and Melissa Westphal (Springfield, Va./Paul VI) combined for the shut out with eight total saves.

USC Aiken's next match will be a Peach Belt Conference road-tilt in Americus, Ga. against Georgia Southwestern on Saturday, Oct. 23. The Pacers and Hurricanes will take to the pitch at 1 p.m.
