Declan Stimson scored a pair of goals for Catawba College as the Indians defeated Tusculum College 3-1 in South Atlantic Conference men's soccer action Saturday night.

Kevin Scott also scored for the Indians (6-3-1, 3-3-1 SAC), who led 2-0 at halftime and finished with a 14-6 advantage in shots over the Pioneers (3-7-0, 1-5-0 SAC).

Ricardo da Silva netted the lone goal of the match for the Pioneers in the 58th minute to cut the Indians' lead to 2-1, but Stimson answered just over 12 minutes later to give Catawba insurance.

Scott opened the scoring at 12:21 on a give-and-go play with Kenny Bonilla, then Stimson notched his first goal of the night at 42:01 as a three-quarter field kick by goalkeeper Frankie Cardelle ricocheted off the crossbar to Stimson, who put home the rebound. The goal marked the first time all season that Tusculum trailed by more than one goal in a match.

A free kick by the Pioneers' Roberto Pimentel led to the Pioneers' only goal, as da Silva headed home the service to cut the Indians' lead to 2-1 at 57:24. Tusculum nearly tied the match with just over 30 minutes left, but a shot from Matias Rubio went off the post.

Stimson restored the Indians' two-goal lead at 69:47 off a feed by Matt Wilkinson, and the Pioneers could muster only two shots over the remaining 20 minutes. Tusculum had five shots in the second half after being held to just one attempt in the first half by the Catawba defense.

Cardelle made one save in goal for the Indians, while the Pioneers split time in goal with Ashley Elsey making three saves in the first half and Victor Ohlin stopping a pair of shots in the second half.

The Pioneers will continue on the road Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Barton in a non-conference match.
