Box Score

BIRMINGHAM – Georgia Southern scored a pair of goals three minutes apart in the 2nd half in its 2-0 victory over UAB on Thursday night at PNC Field.

Meredith Pugh put the Eagles up 1-0 in the 48^th minute and Smith Cathey added an insurance goal in the 51^st minute.

The teams played even in the 1^st half, with neither team able to find the back of the net.

UAB had its best chance to get on the board in the 66^th minute when Jolie St Louis' shot hit woodwork. Abby Graeser had an opportunity in the 77^th minute, but her shot was turned aside by GSU keeper Quinn Wilson.

"I thought we looked very good in the 1^st half, especially in possession," said head coach Lisa Mann. "We've been working for 16 days throught the preseason trying to teach them entire game model and they implemented large portions of it very, very well, but it's there elements that are just not clicking yet. We will come back in and girls will have a good session tomorrow and Saturday as we prepare for the next game against Alabama."

The Blazers remain at home to face No. 7 Alabama on Sunday at 6 p.m. The Crimson Tide were 2-0 winners over DePaul earlier tonight.
