SCORING
26' – UNCW – Serenity Waters took a shot from the edge of the 18 yard box, which was saved initially by GS goalkeeper Emily Flinn. The loose ball which looked destined to go out for a corner kick, was struck by Nikki Cox as she slid just in front of the post to score the first goal of the game.
40' – UNCW – Cassidy Overstreet scored an unassisted tally hitting a shot that deflected in off an Eagle defender to make it 2-0.
72' – UNCW – Waters earned her third point of the game with a goal scored on a run from 26 yards.
NOTES
- Frida Brattum had two shots for the Eagles, who tallied 6 on the night.
- Georgia Southern played two goalkeepers in the match, with starter Emily Flinn making seven saves in the opening 45 minutes while allowing two goals. Lauren Karinshak came in for the second half, making three saves while allowing one goal.
- Seven newcomers played for Georgia Southern in the match, including three starters.
- Kickoff for the match was delayed by 50 minutes due to lightning in the area. Rain, however, began midway through the first half and abated at halftime.
