With

the win, the Lakers have a 11-2-5 record overall and a 5-0-1 mark in the

Peach Belt, while UNC Pembroke drops to 9-6-1 overall and 2-4 in the conference.

The win also kept the Lakers from having to finish a match against Francis

Marion that was suspended as a tie.

After

a scoreless first half in Saturday's match, Clayton State took a 1-0 lead

as senior Marco Capzario headed the ball into the back of the net off

an assist by freshman Desmond Martin at the 52:25 mark. Capazario provided

the Lakers some insurance at the 77:16 mark as he once again scored off

a corner kick, rising above the Brave defense for a score off an assist

from junior Barry Casebeer.

The

Lakers outshot Pembroke 13-12 in the match and Clayton State junior keeper

Warren van der Westhuizen had 10 saves, en route to his 10th shutout of

the season.
