STATESBORO - Mercer's Leonel Toledo Jr. broke a 2-2 deadlock in the 82nd minute with a goal to give the visiting Bears a 3-2 men's college soccer victory over host Georgia Southern on Friday evening at Eagle Field.
The 50th meeting between the two nearby rivals lived up to the billing - even if it got a late start, thanks to a lightning delay that pushed back the opening kick an hour. In the end, the Bears (6-2) collected a third straight win in the series over the Eagles (4-4) and now lead the overall series, 26-24.
