Box Score (PDF)
LAFAYETTE, La. – A goal in the 73rd minute off a free kick from Cori Dulmage carried Georgia Southern to a 2-1 victory over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns soccer team Sunday afternoon at the Cajuns Soccer Complex.
Â
The Eagles (7-2-1, 2-0-0 SBC) held a 15-11 shot advantage for the match, and also led in shots on goal, 9-4. Georgia Southern goalie Katie Merson (7-2-1) earned the win for the Eagles, allowing the one goal while collecting three saves. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Alexias Stricklin (5-5-1) took the loss for the Cajuns, allowing two goals and matching a season-high seven saves.
Â
Suffering back-to-back losses for the first time this season, Louisiana (5-5-1, 0-2-0 SBC) controlled the possession through a majority of the first half. In the 27th minute, junior forward Elizabeth Manuel, who was appearing in just her second game this season after returning from an injury, gave the Cajuns a 1-0 lead. Sophomore midfielder MacKenzie Higgins found Manuel just outside the box before Manuel dribbled through the Eagles defense and brought out keeper Katie Merson to push it in for a Louisiana score.
Â
Georgia Southern picked up its intensity after halftime, controlling the ball much longer in the second period. In the 56th minute, Sydnie Van Curen evened the match for the Eagles after receiving a free kick in the box from Alana McShane. Van Curen then sent a header into the corner of the net to make it a 1-1 score.
Â
The Eagles then took the lead for good after Dulmage's goal late in the second half to take a 2-1 victory over Louisiana.
Â
Nora El-Shami led Georgia Southern with four shots, two being on target, while freshman forward Danielle DeRosa totaled three shots to lead Louisiana on the day.
Â
The Cajuns continue Sun Belt Conference play next weekend when they travel to Alabama to take on Troy on Friday at 7 p.m. and South Alabama on Sunday at 1 p.m.
