Box score

FLORENCE, S.C. - Senior midfielder Adrien Moufflet was involved in all three goals to help lead Anderson past Francis Marion, 3-1, in men's soccer action Saturday afternoon at the FMU Soccer Field.

Playing their third road contest of the early season, the Trojans got on the scoreboard early, with Moufflet providing a corner kick in the seventh minute that found its way to junior James Moseley, who headed the ball past FMU keeper Clark Richeson for his first score of the season.

Moseley and Moufflet, both preseason All-SAC selections lived up to the billing on Saturday, as Anderson (2-1-1) earned its second straight win, while handing Francis Marion (0-4) its fourth consecutive loss to start the season

The two teams headed to the locker room at the half with AU still holding the 1-0 advantage, but the Trojans struck quickly coming out of the break behind junior Mark Smith's first goal of the season less than five minutes into the final stanza.

Moufflet again provided the spark with a corner kick and junior Lasse Sohrweide flicked the ball to Smith, whose game-winning shot found the back of the net.

The final AU goal of the afternoon was off Moufflet's foot, as Messick found him in the box at the 55:47 mark to give the Trojans a three-goal cushion.

The Patriots' Ivan Juric set the final margin by scoring on a penalty kick in the 88th minute following a foul whistled on AU.

Anderson outshot the Patriots, 19-5, on the afternoon, while the Trojan defense allowed just three shots on goal. Sohrweide posted four shots on goal with Messick recording two.

Lukas Hesse collected two saves on the afternoon en route to earning his second win of the season, while Richeson absorbed the loss.

Anderson opens a two-game homestand looking for its third straight victory by playing host to Lynn University on Monday, with kick-off scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Trojan Stadium.
