In an exciting match, JMU women’s soccer team secured a 1-0 victory over Georgia State with a goal by senior Haley Lackey. This win marks the team’s fourth consecutive victory and improves their record to 7-1-1 on the season.
The game was evenly matched, with both teams putting up a strong defense and creating scoring opportunities. Lackey’s goal came in the 65th minute of the game, after she received a pass from teammate Sarah Segan and found the back of the net. This goal proved to be the game-winner, as the JMU defense held strong for the rest of the match to secure the victory.
Head coach Josh Walters praised Lackey’s performance, saying “Haley has been working extremely hard and has been playing some really good soccer lately. It was great to see her get rewarded for that tonight.” Lackey’s goal was her third of the season, making her one of the team’s top scorers.
The win over Georgia State continues JMU’s impressive season, with the team now on a four-game winning streak. The Dukes have proven themselves as a strong contender in the conference, with their only loss of the season coming against a tough opponent in Virginia Tech.
With the victory, JMU looks to build on their success and continue their winning streak as they head into the latter part of the season. The team’s next match will be against conference rival Northeastern, where they will look to extend their winning streak and solidify their position in the standings.
