MACON, Ga. - Georgia Southern redshirt freshman Elis Nemtsov drew a penalty kick in the 83rd minute and graduate student Marcela Montoya converted from the spot to give the Eagles a 1-0 women's soccer victory over host Mercer on Sunday evening at Betts Field.
The win continues Georgia Southern's best start since 2014 as the Eagles improve to 5-2-1 on the year with the victory between the two oldest DI women's soccer programs in the state of Georgia. Mercer, who had won five of the last six meetings between the two schools before tonight, falls to 2-3-1.
