Game Notes
Quickly: Georgia Southern hosts their final home match of 2024 to face Old Dominion ... It is only the fourth meeting between the two programs, and the series is even at 1-1-1 all time ... The Eagles win came last season in Norfolk in a 2-1 win where Jacob Sandun had a brace in what were his only goals as an Eagle ... On the match, Georgia Southern had nine shots on target and forced the Monarch keeper to make seven saves with Nate Martinez for the Eagles making five of his own ... The only home match in the series for Southern was a 4-2 defeat in 2022 ... The last time out for the Monarchs was a 3-1 loss to South Carolina ... It was just their fifth match this season that was decided by more than one goal ... The Gamecocks scored three unanswered before the Monarchs' Andrew Bennett scored his first goal of the season in the 71st minute to erase the clean sheet ... Old Dominion outshot the Gamecocks 13-9, and all nine of their shots were on target, which forced the keeper to make five saves ... For Georgia Southern, their last match was just their second Sun Belt victory of the season in a 2-0 win against UCF ... The two goals from the Eagles came off the feet of freshmen Harvey Sarajian and Ricky Louis, as both goals came in the second half ... UCF had 12 shots, with only one on target ... They also took eight corner kicks and held the Eagles to zero ... In the Sun Belt table, Old Dominion sits in ninth with four points, while the eagles can clinch a spot in the tournament with a win as they are seventh with eight points ... The Eagles have not secured a spot in the tournament yet, but they are no longer in contention to become one of the two hosts for the tournament ... With a win, they are in contention for seeds 4-7.
