Pacers Fall To Saints, 4-0

AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken women's soccer team lost a 4-0 decision to Flagler Monday evening in a Peach Belt Conference contest.

The Pacers are now 4-11 overall and 2-7 against conference competition. The Saints are 4-2-3 on the year and 3-1-2 against league foes.

In the second minute of play, Karin Cadwalader turned away a point-blank shot to keep the contest scoreless. Although Flagler had a corner kick in the eighth minute, the defense held strong and did not allow a shot.

Sarah Drury took a dribble and booted a shot that sailed just over the crossbar at the 12:34 mark. The Saints managed to score on a ball inside the box at the 14:06 mark for what turned out to be the game-winning tally.

Despite trailing, the defense, led by Abby Frick and Amanda Giordano, played well. The back line turned away chance after chance. Additionally, Flagler was whistled for a pair of offside calls.

Frick blasted a shot toward the goal, but the Saints' keeper managed to corral it in the 22nd minute of play.

The visitors added a second goal to the tally in the 37th minute, but USC Aiken tried to quickly counter. Sarah Moore split a pair of defenders before registering a shot on goal that was stopped by Racheal Cecil.

Monica Armendariz posted a shot on frame in the 44th minute but was turned away. 

After halftime, Cadwalader was up for the challenge, stopping a shot at the 47:15 mark. However, the Saints broke through for a pair of goals in the 50th and 57th minute of action.

Despite trailing, head coach Hilary George's team continued to push hard. Kali Phillips picked up a shot in the 74th minute, but it narrowly missed the back of the net. Catherine McHale's attempt at the 82:34 mark was saved, keeping the Pacers off the board.

For the match, USC Aiken was out-shot 9-7, including a 6-5 margin on goal. The Saints tallied eight corner kicks compared to four by the home squad. Cadwalader totaled two saves in the loss.
