| Columbia, SC |
| Carolina stepped outside of conference play and defeated USC-Upstate 2-0, outdistancing them in shots on goal 13-5 and relying on a strong defense for the win. Defender Mitchell Myers scored his first goal of the year in the game's 50th minute to break the scoreboard deadlock, as he beat a defender and put a shot inside the far post. Less than a minute later Luca Mayr put in his third goal of the season of a pass from Jared Gulden, getting his first career point. Senior Peyton Ericson just missed a shot that would have made it 3-0 within the next minute. The duties in goal were split between Justin Bauer and Ian McGrane - Bauer made two saves in the first half before giving way at halftime to McGrane, who made three saves of his own. |
