WHAT HEAD COACH BRIAN DUNLEAVY SAID
"Very poor result for us on the road today. Our team didn't keep possession well enough and didn't finish the numerous chances we had in front of the goal, whether it was one on one with the goalkeeper or on an open goal. Combined with immature defending late in the game, we gave up three points. I'm bitterly dissappointed with the lack of poise and discipline. ULM stuck with it, and finished us off."

NEXT UP
The Eagles travel to South Alabama to face off against the Jaguars for another Sun Belt game on Sunday. GS then has a four-game home stand beginning on Sept. 23 against UL Lafayette.
