FOLEY, Ala. - Top-seeded South Alabama got goals from graduate Tabea Griss and senior Briana Morris to defeat eighth-seeded Georgia Southern, 2-0, in the first round of the Sun Belt Women's Soccer Championship on Wednesday at the Foley Sports Complex.
The Jaguars have now won six in a row to improve to 14-3-2 on the season. The Eagles end their year at 6-11-1.
It didn't take long for the Jaguars to get on the board thanks to Griss heading home a corner kick from sophomore Tilly Wilkes at the 8:04 mark. Just over 2 ½ minutes later, the Eagles looked to tie the game but senior Justice Stanford made a leaping save off a corner kick to preserve the shutout.
