Newby Named PBC Player of the Week

AIKEN, S.C. - USC Aiken freshman forward Scott Newby was selected as the Peach Belt Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week by the league office on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Newby is the second Pacer to claim the award in the 2009 season. Troy Watson (Kingston, Jamaica/Montreat) has been selected as the PBC Player of the Week twice (Sept. 9 and Sept. 22). In total, three Pacers have earned weekly plaudits from the conference office with USC Aiken goalkeeper Andray Charles (Grenada, West Indies/Presentation Brother's) being named the PBC Goalkeeper of the Week on Sept. 15.

Newby's honor by the league office on Tuesday is his second of the week. He was selected as the USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday, November 2.

Newby (Leicestershire, UK/Wreake Valley) helped lead USC Aiken to a perfect 2-0 record last week by recording a team-high five total points on the week.

Newby came off the bench in both of USC Aiken's wins last week. He opened his week by scoring two goals in USC Aiken's 4-0 non-conference victory over St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, N.C.

Newby put the Pacers on the board first in the St. Andrews match with 11 seconds left to play in the first stanza. Senior James Chidsey (Rome, Ga./Rome) made a crossing pass from the right corner that was headed in by Newby.

Newby (Leicestershire, England) tallied his second goal of the game and third of the year and of the match in the 68th minute. Sophomore Isaiah Cohn (McDonough, Ga./Luella) took a corner kick that was deflected by sophomore Amr Hailat (Aiken, S.C./South Aiken) at the top of the box over to Newby at the far post, who found the back of the net with his close range shot.

In USC Aiken's regular season finale, Newby assisted on the match-winning goal in the Pacers' 3-2 win over 13th-ranked Anderson. Kennis Paul (Guoyave, Grenada/T.A. Marryshaw College) scored the match-winner for the Pacers. It was his first goal of the year.

Newby and the Pacers concluded the 2009 regular season with three consecutive wins. USC Aiken with the win over nationally-ranked Anderson finished the 2009 regular season with a 7-10-1 record. The Pacers were 2-6 in the PBC during the regular season.

The seventh-seeded Pacers will travel to Greenwood, S.C. tonight to take on the second-seeded Bearcats at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3 in the quarterfinals of the 2009 Peach Belt Conference Tournament.
