No. 1 Flagler hosts No. 4 USC Aiken in the Peach Belt Conference semifinals Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m. The Saints enter on a program-record nine-game winning streak after a historic 12-1-4 regular season, including an 11-0-1 conference mark. A win would send Flagler to Saturday’s championship game—and give the Saints home-field advantage if they advance.

By the Numbers
  • Flagler’s all-time record against USC Aiken: 23-2-2.
  • Flagler won the teams’ earlier meeting this month, 4-2.
  • The Saints went 12-1-4 overall and 11-0-1 in conference play.
  • Flagler has won 9 straight games and recorded 6 clean sheets this season.
  • Tickets cost $13 for ages 6 and older; pay-per-view video costs $10.
Yes, But

Flagler has the stronger seed, a dominant series record and a win over USC Aiken earlier this month. But a semifinal is a single-elimination test, and the Saints will need to turn their regular-season momentum into another result to reach the final.

State of Play
  • The winner advances to Saturday’s championship against North Georgia or Clayton State.
  • If Flagler advances, it will host the championship match at Saints Field.
  • Several Saints earned conference honors, including Finn Weigelt as PBC Offensive Player of the Year and Filip Hornburg as Defensive Player of the Year.

Bottom Line

Flagler has the résumé and momentum to make a title run, but the immediate goal is straightforward: protect home field and earn a place in Saturday’s final.
