AIKEN, S.C. – The USCA women's soccer team lost a 2-1 decision to Clayton State Wednesday evening in a PBC contest.

The Pacers are now 4-3-1 on the season, including a 1-2 record in conference action.

Head coach Adam Kleman's team trailed 1-0 in the early going. However, the team went on the attack shortly afterwards.

Hannah DeVincent rocketed a shot toward the frame in the 13th minute that sailed just wide. Lexi Blasberg had a shot that was blocked while Ashtyn Ivey had two attempts blocked.

The pressure allowed the Pacers to play in the offensive third of the pitch and it paid off. At the 27:52 mark, Reese Agnew found Greta Ohlwein. She promptly rocketed the ball past the keeper, knotting the contest at 1-1.  USCA had multiple attempts late in the half, but the score remained tied at intermission.

Clayton State managed to record the match-winning goal on a penalty kick at the 64:47 mark, which occurred after a foul in the box.

USCA continued to push forward and had solid chances, but the squad was unable to find the equalizer. Samantha Koneval placed a shot that hit the crossbar. Agnew's attempt at the 74:12 mark was stopped. Savannah Yerger stopped five shots while playing all 90 minutes between the pipes.

For the match, USCA totaled 19 shots, including seven on frame. The team earned nine corner kicks.
