The Georgia Southern Women’s soccer team took the first rival point of the year against Georgia State when they shut out the Panthers 2-0 Friday..
The game took place at Georgia State’s home turf giving them an assumed home advantage, but the Eagles were the ones that proved victorious with two second half goals.
"Great result for our players, they deserved to win, they had an excellent balance of intensity and composure for the full 90 minutes," GS head coach Brian Dunleavy said. "That's crucial in an emotional match up like this."
The match stayed locked at a 0-0 tie all through the first half, but GS had the edge on shots on GSU 5-4 going into the second half.
