Johnston, Barley Lead Georgia State to 2-0 Win

ATLANTA -- Maddie Johnston and Bree Barley each scored in the second half Sunday to lead Georgia State to a 2-0 victory over Troy at the new GSU Soccer Facility.

The Panthers out-shot the Trojans 8-3 in the first half but the teams headed to halftime tied 0-0.

Johnston netted her fourth goal of the season in the 50th minute to give GSU a 1-0 advantage. Johnston used her left foot to beat the keeper and is now second on the team in goals scored.

The Panthers fended off an aggressive Trojan side in the second half and capitalized on a breakaway as Barley scored a rocket from around 30 yards out with her right foot, putting the game away at 2-0 in the 84th.

Jaddah Foos earned her second shutout of the season with a five-save performance in the GSU goal. 

The Panthers improve to 8-3-3 overall and 3-1-2 in the Sun Belt. GSU will host South Alabama Friday at 7 p.m.
