Future Home Of The Pacers
Current Home - Pacer Pit
Known to fans as “Pacer Pit,” the USC Aiken soccer complex has been the home of the men’s and women’s soccer programs since their inception. The men began NCAA play in 1990-91 while the women’s program began in 1997.
In 2001, a building was constructed at the field in which the men’s and women’s locker rooms and coaches’ offices are located. The building also provides facilities for visitors and game officials.
The 700-seat complex has been the backdrop for numerous Pacer victories.

The contest marked the first postseason game held at the field since 2001. In front of a raucus crowd of 245, the Pacers also earned one of thee most impressive upset wins in the program’s history when they defeated No. 20 Lander 2-1 on Oct. 4.
For the Pacer Women, their home field was the venue for five of their seven victories in 2006, including three of the squad’s four conference wins. USC Aiken provided some excitement for the home fans when they rattled off four straight home wins, including back-to-back overtime wins over Presbyterian and USC Upstate. As the PBC’s fourth-seed, the Pacer Women also earned the right to host a postseason game at “Pacer Pit,” but fell to USC Upstate 1-0 on October 25.
