Throughout the 2018 season, the USC Aiken Athletic Communications office will provide weekly notes, giving all of Pacer Nation an in-depth look at the team. 

Earning A Point

The Pacers are just two points back from sixth place (a win equals three points and a tie equals one point) in the standings with four matches to go against conference competition.
