GREENVILLE, S.C. — Furman ran away from USC Upstate in men’s soccer Tuesday night, winning 7-1 at Stone Soccer Stadium in Greenville as Wilfer Bustamante scored three times.

The Paladins needed just six minutes to go ahead when Caleb Johnson scored, and Bustamante made it 2-0 two minutes later. Upstate got one back in the 18th minute through freshman Jaami Qureshi, his first goal of the year, set up by Tolu Fabamifobee.

The visitors then lost David Palade to a red card in the same minute, and Furman scored three more times before halftime for a 5-1 lead. Grayson Travis scored his second of the night in the 56th minute and Bustamante finished his hat trick in the 74th.

Furman held a 30-3 edge in shots and outshot Upstate 15-3 on goal. Upstate goalkeeper Jarrett Wuerslin made seven saves before Kahaku Yamashita came on in relief.

Furman is now 6-3-4. USC Upstate fell to 4-11-0 overall and stays 2-3-0 in Big South play.
