STATESBORO - Georgia Southern men's soccer earned its first win of the 2023 campaign in shutout fashion against UNC Asheville, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at Eagle Field. The victory avenges last season's road loss to the Bulldogs and earns Lee Squires his first Division I victory as a head coach.
The match started slowly as neither side could break through to score in the first half. Asheville (1-1-0) would shoot the ball four times to Georgia Southern's (1-1-0) one shot, but neither side would take an advantage into the half. Both sides had three corner kicks in the first half, and Nate Martinez notched a save after 45 minutes of play.
