Eagles Play Kennesaw State To 0-0 Draw On Wednesday

Georgia Southern wraps up its six-match road swing with a tie; faces Marshall in Sun Belt opener on Sunday at Bo Pitts Field

KENNESAW, Ga. - Georgia Southern women's soccer wrapped up its non-conference schedule on Wednesday playing Kennesaw State to a 0-0 draw in Kennesaw, Ga.

The Eagles move to 2-5-1 on the season with the tie, while Kennesaw State moves to 0-4-3 on the year. Georgia Southern will now turn its attention to Sun Belt play, taking on Marshall in a 1 p.m. contest on Sunday from Bo Pitts Field.

Georgia Southern held a 6-2 edge in shots in the first half, but neither team could find the back of the net.

The Eagles generated two outstanding chances in the second half, trying to break the scoreless deadlock. Meredith Pugh got onto a long pass from Kendall Wilson down the left side in the 60th minute and her cross took a deflection off of a Kennesaw State defender, then hit off of the crossbar.

In the 71st minute, the Eagles earned a corner kick, then off of a header back out towards the top of the box, Caitlin Conroy's volley was saved off the line by defender Delaney Edwards, then was punched out by KSU goalkeeper Sara Hill.

The match ended scoreless despite the Eagles enjoying a 15-5 edge in shots. Quinn Wilson got the start in net for the Eagles and collected her fifth career shutout by making two saves. Hill finished the night with five saves for the Owls. Georgia Southern had a 5-1 edge in corner kicks and the Eagles were whistled for seven fouls and three offsides, while Kennesaw State was whistled for eight fouls.

The draw was the first point picked up by the Eagles in Kennesaw in three tries against the Owls. KSU was 2-0 at home against Georgia Southern prior to Wednesday's match. The match was also the first 0-0 draw for the Eagles since Georgia Southern had a scoreless tie at Troy on September 18 of 2022.

"I'm proud of our defense for closing out this long road trip with a solid showing tonight," Georgia Southern head women's soccer coach Chris Adams said. "Even though we earned a draw, we feel like we left points out on the field tonight. I know our attack has the ability to match our defense and when we can get both to click in the same match, we will start to get the results that we want."
