ROCK HILL, S.C. - Blake Wilson and reigning SBC Offensive Player of the Week Javier Carbonell capitalized on a defensive miscue in the waning moments, scoring the go-ahead goal with just 38 seconds left on the clock to give Georgia Southern men's soccer a 2-1 non-conference road win over Winthrop on Tuesday evening.
The win was the fourth in the last five matches for the Eagles from Statesboro as Georgia Southern improved to 4-3 on the season, while the home-standing Winthrop Eagles fell to 2-4-1 overall on the year.
Winthrop came into the match unblemished at home, without a single goal conceded, and the first half saw that trend continue as neither team could dent the scoreboard before the break.
