The Georgia State men’s soccer team’s 2016 season has been one of the extremes. Eight games in and this season has already produced exciting, competitive matches, critical game winners, and multiple hat tricks. The season is also bearing witness to an unblemished home record, but a nearly winless record away from it.
One of the biggest reasons for the Panther’s success at the GSU Soccer Complex is the sophomore from Germany, Hannes Burmeister. In the first home game of the season, Burmeister notched a hat trick in a 4-1 smashing of the Memphis Tigers. To Burmeister, being able to score three goals was not a surprise to him.
