Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery defeated Georgia Southern University by a score of seven goals to nil in its final pre-season scrimmage on Tuesday afternoon at Blackbaud Stadium. Mamadou Diouf registered a second-half hat-trick to lead the Battery to a comfortable victory.

Charleston pressed from the opening whistle and scored four unanswered goals in the first-half with Zach Prince, Heviel Cordoves, Jarad van Schaik and Adam Mena all converting chances.

It was more of the same after the break as the Battery enjoyed the majority of the possession and kept the pressure constant on the Georgia Southern defense. All three second-half goals were scored by forward Mamadou Diouf a half-time substitute; Diouf's hat-trick was the first of the Battery pre-season
