Ten Cup Points On The Line Beginning Thursday

ANDERSON, S.C. -- Ten points for the Anderson-Erskine Cup Sponsored By ARAMARK on are on the line in the next three days beginning Thursday. The two schools will meet for a soccer doubleheader Thursday at Smethers Field on the Anderson campus. The doubleheader will begin at 5 p.m. with the women's match. Each match is worth three points. The Erskine women (4-12-1, 4-5) have won three of the last matches in the series. The Anderson women enter Thursday's match with a record of 4-11, 2-7. Anderson officials are expecting the largest crowd of the season for the two matches. In the last four meetings between the two schools in men's soccer, each school has a victory and there have been two ties. Anderson scored late last season at Due West to earn a tie. Anderson enters Thursday night's match on a roll. The Trojans, 7-9 overall and 2-6 in the CVAC, have won two straight matches by a combined score of 14-1. Jordan Kelly has four goals and three assists in Anderson's last two matches. Erskine brings a record of 3-10-1, 1-6-1 into Thursday's showdown. On Saturday morning at Spartanburg, four more Cup points will be available in the CVAC Cross Country Championships at the Milliken Cross Country Course. The school that records the highest finish in the men's race will earn three Cup points, while the school that finishes highest in the women's race will earn one Cup point. There is a point differential in cross country because Anderson funds women's cross country at a higher level than Erskine. Anderson earned the first three points in the annual competition by winning the graduation rate category. This is the fourth year for the Cup competition. Erskine has won the last two Cups.
