WILMINGTON, N.C. - Host UNCW tallied the match's only goal in the 37th minute as the Seahawks claimed a 1-0 women's college soccer victory over visiting Georgia Southern on Sunday afternoon in Wilmington, N.C.

The Seahawks improved to 3-2-1 on the season, while Georgia Southern fell to 2-3. The Eagles, in the midst of a six-match road trip, will next visit North Florida on Thursday, September 4 at 5:00 p.m. in Jacksonville, Fla.

The Eagles held a 7-4 edge in shots in the first half, but it was Megumi Umemoto who delivered the 37th minute tally as her shot, off of a throw in deep in Georgia Southern's half, curled inside the far left post on a shot from the right side of the box.

In the second half, UNCW tried to double the lead, but Georgia Southern goalkeeper Katie Oakley delivered three second-half saves to keep it a one-goal match.

Kendall Wilson had four of the Eagles' 14 shots on the day. 

The Eagles ended the day with an 14-9 edge in shots. UNCW keeper Morgan Hobbs made five saves in the shutout victory. Georgia Southern held a 3-2 edge in corner kicks, while the Eagles were whistled for 10 fouls, compared to nine fouls and five offsides for the Seahawks.

"It was a tough day today, especially considering that we created 14 chances and had nothing to show for our work," Georgia Southern head women's soccer coach Chris Adams said. "We have to show more composure in the final third and make our chances count. There's not much time to harp on this match, however, as we are right back at it on Thursday at North Florida."
