Eagles Take State to the Wire on Sunday Afternoon

STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern women's soccer took the top team in the Eastern Division, Georgia State, to the wire drawing 2-2 in double overtime on Sunday evening. Georgia State is now 7-1-2 on the season and 5-1-2 in conference play, while the Eagles get a much needed point and move to 2-7-1 and 2-4-1 in conference play. 

In the 12th minute, Grace Kiser opened up the scoring for the Panthers, beating goalkeeper Sara Story to the far side. Later in the first half the Eagles were able to capitalize on plenty of zone time, as Marcela Montoya notched her team leading third goal in the 25th minute. 

Just before half the Eagles would take the lead 2-1, as Deborah Ruiz took a touch from Marcela Montoya and found the back of the net. Sade Heinrichs started the rush back in the defensive zone to free up space for Montoya and Ruiz. 

In the 68th minute Kelsee Holloway notched her second goal of the season to level the two sides heading into overtime. Things began to get very chippy in the first overtime period, but the momentum was shifted the Eagles way. GS would continue to not allow the Panthers anywhere past 30 yards out and earned a hard fought point on Sunday. 

The Eagles will be back in action on Friday evening, as they take on South Alabama for the final time in the regular season. Kick off is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Eagle Field.
