Marshall Remains Unbeaten, Clips Eagles 3-1

STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern men's soccer team fell in a home conference match against the top-ranked Marshall Thundering Herd, 3-1, on Sunday night.

The Eagles (1-4-5) struck first in the match when AJ Pama connected with Jack Ireland inside the box, where Ireland struck the bottom left corner of the net to take a 1-0 lead over the Thundering Herd (10-0-0). The Eagles lead was short-lived, though, as the Herd answered just over four minutes later with an equalizing shot from a penalty kick. This concluded a period where the Herd out-shot the Eagles, 10-1, but the Eagles keeper Nate Martinez ended the period with three saves.

In the second half, Marshall took the lead in just under three minutes of action with a ball shot after a cross from another Herd player. Marshall took a 3-1 lead after another penalty kick in the 78', eventually leading to the 3-1 final.

Marshall out-shot the Eagles 15-3, including a 6-1 shot on target tally. Martinez had the only three saves of the match, and the Herd had 11 corner kicks to the Eagles' four.
