2021 Men's Soccer Schedule

AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken is pleased to announce the 2021 men's soccer schedule.

"I'm very excited about this fall because we are bringing in a lot of new players with a good blend of experience and backgrounds," head coach Ike Ofoje said. "This year's team will be technically better than we have been the past few years, with a good depth on our bench as well. 

"The schedule is interesting also because for the first time we are playing each team in the conference home and away. The players are excited and so is the coaching staff!"

The 17-match regular-season slate is highlighted by nine home contests. This season, the PBC will play a double-round robin for its league contests – playing each opponent at home and on the road. 

Ofoje's team opens the season at region rival Newberry on Sept. 1. A week later, the Pacers open their home portion of the schedule with a match against SAC foe Catawba. On Sept. 11, USC Aiken hosts its third consecutive SAC opponent with a match-up against Mars Hill.

After opening PBC play at Clayton State on Sept. 15, Ofoje's squad hosts its PBC home opener on Sept. 18 against Georgia Southwestern. The Pacers make the short drive to Lander on Sept. 22 before closing out the first month of the slate with home matches against King (Sept. 26) and Flagler (Sept. 29).

USC Aiken hits the road for a match at Young Harris on Oct. 2. The following Wednesday, Ofoje's squad hosts North Georgia. A Saturday evening match is slated at Georgia Southwestern (Oct. 9) prior to the Pacers hosting Lander on Oct. 13.

USC Aiken steps out of league play for a match at Converse on Oct. 16 before traveling to St. Augustine for a contest at Flagler on Oct. 20. 

The Pacers conclude their home portion of the slate with home matches against Young Harris (Oct. 23) and Clayton State (Oct. 27) before finishing the regular season with a match at North Georgia on Oct. 30.

PBC Tournament play begins on Nov. 9.
