AIKEN, S.C. – Katie Rumble and Aubrey Danielson both recorded a hat trick and Danielson added a pair of assists to lift the University of South Carolina Aiken women's soccer team over the Cobras of visiting Coker College 8-1 Monday night at the "Pacer Pit" in non-conference action.

With the win, USC Aiken improves to 5-11-1 overall for the 2010 campaign while Coker is now 1-13-2 overall on the season.

The Pacers raced out of the gate with an impressive three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. Rumble (Aiken, S.C./South Aiken) and Danielson (Spartanburg, S.C./Dorman) wasted no time as they joined forces to put the ball in the back of the net in just the second minute as Rumble sent a rocket into the lower let corner of the goal off the assist from Danielson.

Danielson picked up her second assist of the game just one minute later when she sent a cross to the waiting boot of Brittany Moores (Blythewood, S.C./Blythewood) who deftly put the ball into the back of the net to put the Pacers up 2-0.

In the ninth minute it was Danielson's turn to find pay dirt with her first goal of the evening. Jenny Pineiro (Charleston, S.C./Fort Dorchester) took control of the ball off an inbounds play and served up the ball into the box to the waiting boot of Danielson who then volleyed the ball from the six-yard line and into the back of the net for her third score of the season.

Danielson's second goal came in the 25th minute off another assist by Moores. Moores passed the ball to the top of the box, leaving Danielson one-on-one with the goalkeeper before she sent a rocket over the head of Coker's netminder giving USC Aiken a 4-0 lead heading into the half.

The Pacers opened up the second half of regulation in similar fashion to the first as Rumble recorded her second goal of the match in the 52nd minute off an assist by Kyle Maguire (Irmo, S.C./Dutchfork) who sent a long shot from the far end of the field perfectly over Rumble's head. Despite heavy pressure from several Cobras, Rumble fluidly moved into the box and sent a rocket past the goalkeeper into the back of the net.

Just two minutes later it was Pineiro's turn to reach the back of the net off an assist by Casey Lloyd (Lexington, S.C./White Knoll). In a play similar to her assist in the first half, Pineiro deflected the ball past the outstretched arms of the Coker goalkeeper after Lloyd served up the ball of an inbound play and into the box to the waiting Pineiro.

In the 56th minute Rumble completed her hat trick and recorded her sixth goal of the season. Coming off a hat trick of her own last week, Alex Cohen (Evans, Ga./Greenbrier) earned the assist as Rumble laced the ball into the lower left corner of the goal to put the Pacers up 7-0.

Coker refused to accept the shutout and was able to find the back of the net late in the second half when Jill Giguere scored an unassisted goal into the lower right of the goal with just under 18 minutes left to play.

Danielson tallied the final goal of the match just four minutes later to record her first career hat trick and her fifth goal of the season. Fellow freshman Cohen earned the assist as Danielson sent a rocket from approximately 23 yards out and into the lower left corner of the goal to set the final score at 8-1.

USC Aiken owned a commanding lead over Coker in every aspect of the game including out shooting the Cobras 26-13.

The Pacers will close out their 2010 regular and Peach Belt Conference slate on Wednesday, Oct. 27 against the Bobcats of Georgia College. The match at the "Pacer Pit" will serve as senior day for USC Aiken and will begin at 7 p.m.
