Box Score

Spartanburg, S.C. - The Furman men's soccer team scored a pair of goals in each half to down Wofford 4-0 and extend its Southern Conference winning streak to three matches Saturday evening at Snyder Field in Spartanburg, S.C.

Furman (8-5-1, 3-1-1 SoCon) took the early lead by scoring its first tally at 16:58 when Mark Futrell, dribbling near the end line, sent a ball back to Chris Davis who was standing inside the six-yard box. Davis redirected the pass past Terrier goalkeeper Russ Sandifer.

Later in the first half, the Paladins struck again, as Shea Salinas sent a long pass to Davis down the left flank. Davis then passed the ball across through the Wofford defense to Rob Victor, who then headed the ball off the ground and over the head of Sandifer at 23:23.

Furman added its two second half scores late. Takato Ban sent a long serve on the right side to Robert Hunter, who raced past the Terrier defense and made one move to get around a charging Sandifer before finding the back of the net at 86:45.

Hunter later added his second mark on the scoreboard, at 88:39, when Kevin Traynor crossed the ball and it deflected off Hunter's leg just under the crossbar. The ball hit the underside of the crossbar and fell straight down just inside the goal line.

The visitors held a 25-6 shot advantage and an 11-0 edge on corner kicks. Sandifer stopped 10 Furman shots, while the Paladins' starting keeper Bryan Amos registered two saves before being relieved for the final 9:31 by Gleason.

Furman returns to action Tuesday hosting College of Charleston in a 6 p.m. contest at Stone Soccer Stadium.
