The Georgia Southwestern men's soccer team scored three goals in
a 12-minute span early in the first half at Hurricane Field on
Tuesday afternoon to earn its first conference win of the season, a
3-0 victory over North Georgia.
GSW dominated early, scoring all three goals in the first 25
minutes as Yimi Reyes
started the offense in the 12th minute, taking a rebound off Shane McKay's shot that
hit the post from eight yards out for his first goal of the
year.
Ross Sellers
followed just five minutes later at the 16:11 mark, finding his
second score of the year of yet another rebound, this one coming
from three yards out as the sophomore tapped home Kacey Barnard's saved
shot for a 2-0 Hurricane advantage.
The barrage continued in the 24th minute
when Barnard took a pass from Sellers and drove home
the final goal of the match from 20 yards out, scoring inside the
right post to give GSW the commanding 3-0 lead.
The Saints (5-3-2, 1-3-1 PBC) held a slim 5-4 edge in
shots on goal, and took 13 corners to zero for the Hurricanes, but
where it counted, on the scoreboard, Georgia Southwestern went home
with a 3-0 shutout.
Southwestern (2-8, 1-3) looks to make it two straight wins on
Saturday, hosting Montevallo at 3:30 p.m.
