Box Score STATESBORO, Ga. – On a misty, cool afternoon in Statesboro, the Eagles took on a ULM team looking to keep their conference tournament chances alive. The Blue and White honored five seniors: Aila Sendra, Paige Hoover, Sarah Price, Alana McShane, and Angelica Wallerstedt.

The Blue and White began the afternoon feeling out the Warhawks. The Eagles struck first in the 20^th minute when Frida Brattum was awarded a corner. Brattum played a beautiful ball into the box, where Paige Hoover chipped the ball toward the net and off a ULM defender. Hoover scored her third goal of the year and gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead early.

The Eagles continued to pepper goalkeeper, Audrey Pendergraft, outshooting the Warhawks 10-3 in the first half. Aila Sendra would join the action when she attempted to cross the ball into the box, but the Warhawks defender misplayed it and scored into her own goal.

Lauren Karinshak would shut the door, adding to her season save total. Karinshak had four saves and added her fifth clean-sheet of the season and second in conference. The back line consisting of Madeline Jones, Claire Amici, Junique Rodriguez, and Ashton Adams continued to force turnovers and limit the amount of shots Karinshak would face.

With the victory this afternoon the Eagles added another three points to their conference total, boosting them to 13 on the year. The Eagles are one of four teams that have a game in hand and will take on Troy next Sunday to conclude the 2017 regular season.

WHAT HEAD COACH BRIAN DUNLEAVY SAID
"Really proud of our team, they bounced back from Friday night in style. We looked really good throughout the course of the game. Our back four were excellent and Lauren was terrific. It was good for us to get the shutout as well. Our midfield really stepped up and generated a lot of attacking play. I'm really pleased, this has been such an enjoyable experience coaching this team. They really come to work hard day in and day out. We've got to continue that work ethic and belief in ourselves as we move forward."
