The University of South Carolina Beaufort women's soccer team was unable to generate many scoring chances and couldn't keep pace with undefeated Flagler College, losing 4-0 to the NCAA Division II Saints on Wednesday at Fin Land Field.

The Saints (5-0-1) scored a quick goal when Jessica Jagielski assisted on Cassie Fernandez's first goal of the season in the fifth minute, and that proved to be enough for Cristina Coca, who only had to make one save thanks to Flagler's strong defensive effort.

The Sand Sharks (2-4) tightened up on defense after the initial goal, but Katie Kaim scored off an assist from Jessie Uvalle in the 35th minute to give the Saints a 2-0 halftime lead.

Jagielski assisted on Taylor Adkins' fourth goal of the season in the 53rd minute, and Katie Kaufmann put away an assist from Fernandez in the 67th minute for the final margin.

USCB goalkeeper Chelsie Mummert stopped seven shots. 

"We played a good team tonight, and we simply got outplayed," USCB coach Ed Heberling said. "This is the kind of game you schedule to see where you stand, and now we know what we need to do to be competitive with some of the best teams in our conference. We know where we need to be."

The Sand Sharks host non-conference games against Emmanuel College at 5 p.m. Friday and against Florida Christian College at 1 p.m. Monday before opening Sun Conference play against SCAD Savannah at 5 p.m. next Wednesday.
