Men's Soccer Hosts Southern Virginia Saturday In First Game of WPU Doubleheader

Jorge Lemus Leads The Pacers In Goals And Assists

RALEIGH, N.C. – The William Peace men host Southern Virginia in the first game of a soccer doubleheader at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., on Saturday, Oct. 19.

After the men's 4 p.m. match, the William Peace women host Salem (N.C.) at 7 p.m. Admission is free to both USA South contests.

William Peace (0-3-1 USA South, 3-6-3 overall) is aiming to extend its men's win streak over Southern Virginia (2-2 USA South, 7-3-2 overall). The Pacers have won seven in a row and are 7-1 against the Knights since 2016.

A victory would help the Pacers in their pursuit of a USA South tournament berth. The Pacers are one game behind Mary Baldwin (1-2-1 USA South) and Pfeiffer (1-2-1) for the sixth and final playoff spot with three regular-season games left.

The Pacers are led in scoring by career goals leader Jorge Lemus, who has five goals and two assists this season. Gavin Beaupre and Ausar Omwenga have two goals apiece and Nathan Cochran has two assists. Goalkeeper Rafa Quevodo-Antunez has 35 saves and is tied for the most shutouts (4) in the USA South.
