Senior Witt Carlisle scored a team-leading seventh goal of the season in the 65th minute of the game as he scored on a penalty kick.

The Eagles improve to 9-9 on the season and will continue to pursue first SoCon championship in school history.
GSU will take on Elon University in the conference semifinals for the second straight year in a row.
The Phoenix beat the Eagles 1-0 earlier this season at Elon, however, both teams will meet Friday at a neutral site in Greenville, S.C.
