CLINTON, S.C. – The Presbyterian College men's soccer team used two unanswered goals to end home non-conference play on a high note Wednesday night, knocking off visiting Georgia Southern by a 3-2 margin.

PC improves to 2-7-0 on the season while Georgia Southern moves to 2-7-0 as well.

The Blue Hose rallied from a 2-1 deficit early in the second half, taking advantage of a Nico Fazio (Roswell, Ga.) score in the 64^th minute and an Eagles own goal to take the win.

Ignacio Monchetti (Montevideo, Uruguay) opened the scoring in the 15^th minute. The sophomore bent a free kick from a yard outside the goal box into the far side of the net, putting PC ahead. Monchetti notched his team-leading second goal of the season on the play.

Georgia Southern evened the score in the 37^th minute as Reed Norton played a pass up to David Vargas Masis, who chipped a shot high to tie the game, 1-1.

The Eagles went ahead nearly 14 minutes after halftime. An Emmanuel Raji cross found Hunter Norton a few feet away from the net, but goalkeeper Tyler Beadle (Douglasville, Ga.) stopped the immediate point-blank shot. The ball bounced to Chase Park, however, who put the chance away to give Georgia Southern their first and only lead, 2-1.

Beadle stopped a pair of shots in each half for four saves on the night.

The Blue Hose caught the Eagles on Fazio's goal. Matt Manter (Irmo, S.C.) sent a ball down the line for Byron Quinatoa (Santos Domingos de los Colorados, Ecuador) in the Georgia Southern end. Quinatoa lofted a cross that eventually found the feet of Fazio, who laced a high shot into the left corner to bring the score to 2-2. Manter's assist gave the freshman his first collegiate point.

PC continued to push the attack, matching the Eagles' five shots in the second half. The pressure broke through in the 80^th minute as the Blue Hose created an opportunity that led to an own goal. Goalkeeper Neal Bates came out to collect a contested ball, and Quinatoa jarred the ball loose. In the ensuing scrum, defender Ciaran Fairman attempted a clear that bounced backward and into the net to give PC the final goal it would need, 3-2.

The Blue Hose return to action on Saturday, resuming Big South Conference play at No. 17 Coastal Carolina. The opening whistle is slated for 3:30 p.m.
