C.F. Bolden Stadium
Columbia, SC

#8 Brookland-Cayce used an efficient attack throughout the match to down Columbia 3A rival #15 A.C. Flora, 4-0 at Bolden Stadium. The Bearcats raced to a flurry of shots in the matches opening minutes before the turning point in the game occurred. Sophomore goalkeeper Chris Duzan was cautioned in the 15th minute after a questionable penalty kick was awarded to the Falcons and was sent off. Replacing the B-C #1 in goal was junior athlete Rico Jackson, who had never played in the goal prior. Jackson was equal to the task as he dove to his left to stop a Chris Muthig penalty and covered the ensuing carom. The huge emotional lift fueled the Bearcats resolve as Brookland-Cayce scored twice in the next four minute span.

In the 17' junior Brazilian exchange student Eduardo Adam finished a brilliant buildup by seniors Jose Guzman and Chris Pinner to open the scoring and Guzman would add another goal at the 19' mark. In the second half Guzman would seal the game in the 45' on a follow up scramble off a Robby Setzler strike that somehow did not get netted. Senior midfielder Brodie Wall, who played perhaps his best game ever for the Maroon & Black, finished the match off with a terrific goal in the 47th minute.
