CHARLESTON, S.C. – Four different Buccaneers found the back of the net as the Charleston Southern women's soccer team earned a dominant 4-1 win over USC Aiken on Tuesday afternoon to close out non-conference play.

CSU controlled possession from the start, piling up 13 first-half shots and taking a 2-0 lead into the break. Senior forward Sedona Dancu opened the scoring in the 7th minute off an assist from Katie Hoffman, marking her fourth goal of the season. Freshman Rowyn Serne doubled the advantage in the 33rd minute, connecting on a feed from Carson Wells for her first collegiate goal.

The Pacers cut the deficit in half early in the second half, but CSU quickly regained control. Just ten minutes later, Jenéa Knight buried her team-leading fifth goal of the year off a setup by Rachel Gopalakrishnan, restoring a two-goal cushion. The Bucs capped off the afternoon in the 87th minute when Jessica Boyle scored her first goal of the season, assisted again by Hoffman, to seal the 4-1 win.

Goalkeeper Avery Mason recorded two saves to earn her fifth victory of the season.
