USC Aiken Falls At Clayton State In Overtime Thriller

MORROW, Ga. – The University of South Carolina Aiken women's soccer team dropped a hard-fought 2-1 contest at Clayton State Monday evening in the season opener.

Trailing 1-0 in the early going, the Pacers earned a penalty kick. At the 24:16 mark, Willa Olson took it and promptly beat the keeper, knotting the score at 1-1.

Marissa Lee nearly gave the visitors a lead in the 50th minute, but her shot was stopped by the keeper. Riley Barrett blasted a shot to the lower left in the 75th minute that was saved.

USC Aiken had a pair of chances in the waning moments of regulation, but Willa Olson missed wide right. With four ticks left, Gressa Olson's shot narrowly missed to the left of the post. With the score tied, the teams went into overtime.

The lone shot in the extra period came from Clayton State and it found the back of the net.

For the game, USC Aiken tallied nine shots, including five on frame.
