Each week, USC Aiken will post notes. This week, the Pacers host Anderson on Wednesday and Lander on Saturday.

Recapping Last Week

Head coach Adam Kleman's team posted a 7-0 win in its lone match of the week. Late in the first half, USC Aiken erupted for three goals before pouring it on with four goals in the final 45 minutes of action against the Warriors.

First Career Win

The Pacers managed to post a 7-0 win over Southern Wesleyan. The victory was head coach Adam Kleman's first career win. It marked the largest margin of victory in a head coach's first victory in program history.    

Spreading The Wealth

Head coach Adam Kleman's team recorded a seven-goal performance in the home opener. As impressive as that was, even more impressive was the fact seven student-athletes scored goals. Brooke Salerno, Avery List, Riley Stallings, Mackenzie Cochrane, Reagan Leonard, Carmen Jones and Teagan Kersey each found the back of the net.  

Earning The Shutout

USC Aiken played a pair of keepers in the win over Southern Wesleyan. Both Emma Gibson and Kaydence Moore played half of the match. Each recorded a save in the shutout victory.

More Adversity

USC Aiken has seen its share of adversity this fall and then some. Last week, the Pacers had to deal with even more adversity. USC Aiken had its second cancelation of the season. The first one was the original opener against Coker due to weather while the one against Middle Georgia State was canceled due to a COVID issue.
