Offensive Firepower Guides Eagles Past Cougars Wednesday

STATESBORO, Ga. – Three different Eagles scored goals on Wednesday evening and shutout the College of Charleston 3-0 to improve to 4-4-0 on the season. GS outshot the Cougars 19-4 and held the advantage in corners 5-3. 
 
Adam Davie pocketed his second goal of the season in the 26th minute, when Aidan Ferreira sent a ball into the box and found the right foot of Davie. The two sides would go into the half, with the Eagles leading the shot totals 5-2 and the match 1-0.
 
In the 62nd minute, Daniel Pereira was whistled for his second yellow card of the night, forcing the Cougars to play a man-down the remainder of the contest. Georgia Southern would take advantage of the extra space and produce 14 shots in the second half.
 
In the 74th minute, Samuel Odame scored his first goal as an Eagle, as the buildup of Lee Flowers and Mauro Gutierrez-Solis found the streaking Odame. Late in the second half, Odame would be on the service end of Jeremiah Luoma's second goal of the season. Odame played the ball into the wide side of the field and Luoma ripped a shot from just inside the area to put the game away. 
 
Jokull Blaengsson started in net for the Eagles, collecting his second clean sheet of the season. Blaengsson recorded four saves to improve to 3-3-0 on the season. Two of the three victories Blaengsson has collected have been clean sheets.
 
The Eagles will be back in action next Tuesday, September 28th as they host the Stetson Hatters. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Eagle Field.

QUOTING COACH MURPHY
"Was happy that the boys were rewarded for their hard work with a good result tonight. We connected much more effectively with the ball and created multiple chances throughout the match. Felt Aidan (Ferreira), Jacob (Petersen) and Samuel (Odame) were very good and highlighted a strong team performance. We still have some work to do in preparation for Stetson next week and our upcoming conference schedule starting next month. We have yet to play our best match yet, so the potential of this young group is exciting."
