October 21, 2013

In the 36th minute, GSU would strike again this time with redshirt freshman midfielder Aidan Reising would score his first career goal off senior midfielder Hunter Norton’s through ball.
The final goal of the first half would come in the closing minutes of the first half as junior forward David Vargas Masis was sprung off a through ball from sophomore Eric Dinka.
It was a special day for Vargas as his parents were visiting from Costa Rica and and were able to see a game for the first time.
JU would score in the early minutes of the second half to cut the lead to 3-1.
However, redshirt sophomore midfielder Rocco Bagley would score the final goal of the evening as the Eagles would win 4-1.
