MORROW, Ga. – November 3, 2009 – The Clayton State Laker men’s soccer team took its first step towards a Peach Belt Conference Tournament championship, and vented some offensive frustrations at the same time on Tuesday.

Playing host to UNC Pembroke in the 2009 PBC Tournament quarterfinals, the Lakers got a season-high in goals in a game in route to a 5-0 rout over the visiting Braves at Laker Field. The victory improves Clayton State to 11-5-1 overall and the Lakers advance to PBC Tournament semifinals for the eighth time in program history.

Clayton State will face the winner of Lander and USC Aiken on Friday at 5 p.m. at Blanchard Woods Park in Augusta.

The shutout was a PBC-leading 10th on the season for Clayton State, and the Lakers have allowed only a mere two goals in their last nine games. Meanwhile, three Lakers scored goals in the process offensively.

Senior forward Matthias Faublas accounted for two Clayton State goals. He gave the Lakers a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute on a breakaway down the middle off an assist by Leighton Fredericks. Faublas’ second goal came in the 68th minute off an assist by Alargie Jobe to finish off the Clayton State scoring.

In addition, the Lakers also had goals by Sam Bevan in the 23rd minute, Igor Lukic in the 25th minute and Fredericks scored in the 49th minute. Senior midfielder Kyle Timm tied a Clayton State single-game mark for assists with three.

Clayton State goalkeeper David Cristofoli lowered his season goals-against average to 0.86 by recording five saves with the shutout. Tom Courtney recorded four saves for UNC Pembroke (8-8-2).
