Conway, S.C. – Senior Dylan Lane netted a pair of goals and freshman goalkeeper Aaron Salinas recorded his first career shutout as Furman topped Coastal Carolina, 3-0, in non-conference men's soccer action Monday afternoon at CCU Soccer Stadium in Conway, S.C.
 
The victory, Furman's second straight, improved the Paladins to 3-2-0 on the season while Coastal Carolina slipped to 2-3-0.
 
Furman opened the scoring in the 30^th minute when Alfredo Diaz-Santillan unleashed a left-footed strike from inside the box that fellow senior Callum Allison redirected past Coastal Carolina goalkeeper Alex Hare at the 29:54 mark.
 
Lane doubled the Paladins' lead at the 51:09 mark. The senior from Raleigh, N.C. took a pass from freshman Caleb Johnson on the left side of the box and rocketed a shot into the far-side netting. After the Chanticleers were reduced to 10 men when Evan Howard was sent off in the 60^th minute, Lane put the match away with his second goal of the afternoon. Diaz-Santillan curled a cross to Lane just outside the top of the box from deep on the left wing and the midfielder placed a shot into the left-hand corner from almost 18 yards out at 65:26 to cap the scoring.
 
"It's great to get a win against a good Sun Belt team," said Paladin head coach Doug Allison. "I'm happy for Callum, who scored his first career game-winning goal, and proud of the guys for getting their first shutout. Everyone who played came on and contributed to the win today."
 
Salinas, a native of Grand Prairie, Texas, stopped five shots to claim his first shutout in just his second career start. Hare turned away six Paladin shots for Coastal Carolina.
 
Furman posted a 15-9 edge in total shots and 9-5 margin in shots on goal. 
 
The Paladins are back in action on Saturday when they host Gardner-Webb. Kickoff at Stone Soccer Stadium is set for 6 p.m. and admission is free.
