Eagles fall 3-0 to Chattanooga
STATESBORO, Ga. – Returning home from Fort Myers, Florida, the Georgia Southern women's soccer team began their home season against Chattanooga. The Blue and White outshot the Mocs 13-9, but just couldn't finish inside in the final third. The Eagles were able to gain pressure late, but the Mocs would hold on to win 3-0.
Bailey Gale started the scoring for the Mocs early, converting on the Chattanooga corner from Cameron Williams. Chloe Arnold added to the lead seconds into the second half after putting one past the keeper from just outside the area. Arnold would tally her second goal of the afternoon when she walked to the top of the 18 and beat the keeper far post.
The Eagles will now have the week to prepare for Jacksonville State on Friday, August 24th and then head on the road Sunday, August 26th to take on Gardner-Webb.
