ATLANTA – The Georgia State women's soccer team lost to James Madison 3-0 on Sunday
at the GSU Soccer Complex.
James Madison's Lauren Wilson scored a hat trick for the
Dukes, scoring at the 10th, 55th, and 59th
minutes. Five other Dukes players took a shot, which equaled Georgia State's
shot count. Freshman Ashley Nagy led the team with four shots, two on goal for
the Panthers. The other four shots came from four different Panthers.
Junior goalkeeper Rebecca Toler made two saves with three
goals against. James Madison's goalie, Marlee Stynchula, posted a shutout with
her two saves.
“James Madison was able to stretch us out, which really took
us out of our rhythm,” coach Derek Leader said. “It really hurt us when Carly
(Lafferty) left the first half with an injury and couldn't return. We couldn't
quite recover from her loss.”
After the game was over, Georgia State celebrated senior day
for its three seniors. Carly Lafferty, Sarah Smith, and Kelley Hoyt were
recognized for their accomplishments to the team.
The Panthers will next play George Mason on Friday, Oct. 19,
in Fairfax, Va., at 7:00 p.m.
