SCORING
35' – GS – Christian Duncan scored his second goal of the season by taking advantage of a loose ball in the box. A shot by Eric Dinka was blocked back to Duncan who scored to put the Eagles up 1-0.
90' – GS – Adam Abdellaoui assured the Eagles of all three points by scoring with 24 seconds left on the clock. Nick Wells slotted a through ball to Abdellaoui 40-yards from goal which allowed the sophomore to run and take the shot from the edge of the penalty area.

NOTES
- The Eagles picked up their first league win of the year while posting the squad's third shutout of the season.
- Eric Dinka missed a 42nd minute penalty kick that would have put the Eagles up 2-0 approaching halftime.
- Goalkeeper Jack Falle made three saves in the victory against 10 total shots for the Bison.

WHAT COACH KEVIN KENNEDY SAID
"We're certainly excited to pick up a tough three points on the road, and getting the shutout is a real testament to how committed our team was today. I thought we could have been better in the final third today, so we will be looking to improve in that area moving forward. Now we need to focus on another road game with a very talented Clemson team on Tuesday."

NEXT UP
The Eagles visit Clemson on Tuesday night for a non-conference tilt at Historic Riggs Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
