Johnston's Goal Enough as Panthers Blank Mountaineers

ATLANTA, Ga. - Georgia State's women's soccer team continued its best start since 2015 Thursday as the Panthers shutout Appalachian State 1-0 at Center Parc Stadium.

Freshman Maddie Johnston was called on in the 25th minute to take a GSU penalty kick and beat the keeper to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. That would be enough as goalkeeper Jaddah Foos and the GSU defense kept App State off the scoreboard. Foos finished with five saves and earned her third clean sheet in four games.

"I don't think we played our best today but we did enough to get the win," head coach Ed Joyce said.
