WHAT INTERIM HEAD COACH JOSH MOFFET SAID
"Another game where we come away disappointed after controlling the majority of the game. Unfortunately, performances alone won't put points on the board and we have to find a ruthlessness in the final third to put games to bed. As always, I can't fault the work rate of the team. We'll learn and grow from this as we head to Troy next weekend."
LOOKING AHEAD
The Georgia Southern Eagles travel to Troy next Sunday to continue Sun Belt Conference play at 1 p.m.
