MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. | Florida Southern College got a late goal to edge Georgia College & State University 1-0 in a non-conference women's soccer match Wednesday (Sept. 18) afternoon at the Bobcat Soccer Field.

The Moccasins improved to 3-1-1, while the Bobcats slipped to 3-2-0. GCSU returns to action Saturday (Sept. 21) when they open its Peach Belt Conference schedule in Columbus, Georgia, with a 1 p.m. contest against No. 6 Columbus State University.

It was a tale of two halves. Florida Southern controlled most of the play in the opening 45 minutes as they outshot Georgia College 9-1. However, it was the opposite in the second half as the Bobcats outshot the Mocs 11-3.

Florida Southern scored the lone goal in the match at the 82:55 mark to take a 1-0 lead. Alison Jenkins sent in a long cross from the right side into Brinley Beoriegui at the left post and she slotted the ball into the left side of the net.
