LAKELAND, Fla.- The Georgia College & State University Women's Soccer Team (0-0-1) concluded their season opener at Florida Southern College (0-0-1) knotted up at zero.  

The GCSU offense was only able to rifle one shot off against the tough Florida Southern defense. Taylor Salvaggio (Bethlehem, Ga.) had the lone shot of the game as she made the switch to midfield this season. 

The star of the contest for the Bobcats was the senior goalkeeper Kate Richardson (Marietta, Ga.). The Mocs offense was able to rifle off 17 shots throughout the contest seven of which were on goal. Richardson saved all seven attempts to keep the score at 0-0.
