HOUSTON, Texas – The John Murphy era for Georgia Southern men's soccer kicked off with a bang Friday night as the Eagles secured a 4-1 win over Houston Baptist at Sorrels Field in the season opener for both teams. The Eagles were led to the victory by junior forward Blake Wilson's hat trick and freshman Sander Wang's first career collegiate goal.
Wilson started the scoring barrage early in the first half and Wang followed that up with his first career goal a few minutes later. Wilson then put the Eagles up 3-0 before the Huskies could blink.
