ATLANTA, Ga. – Freshman
Maelwenn Gaiffas netted her second goal of the season at the 64-minute mark to tie up ULM and Georgia State on Friday, Oct. 5, but a goal in the 78
th minute by the Panthers would give them the lead and the eventual 2-1 win over the Warhawks.
Gaiffas' goal was only one of ULM's seven total shots on the night. Gaiffas and sophomore
Taylor Altieri were the only Warhawks with shots on goal in the loss.
Georgia State saw its first goal of the night 22 minutes into play, an shot by Monique Hundley would rebound into play, giving Panther Caitlin Ray a chance at the ball, which she capitalized on and scored to give Georgia State the 1-0 lead.
After Gaiffas tied the ball game, Ray returned, this time with the help of teammate Alex Addington. Ray received the pass in transition and beat out the Warhawk defense for a shot at the goal. ULM pushed back in the final ten minutes, but was unable to recover from the deficit.
Senior goalkeeper
Brooke-Lynn Scroggins recorded the loss after a full 90 minutes in the net. Scroggins tallied 15 saves for a match-high this season. The Warhawks added one team save for an overall match-high as well.
The Warhawks fall to 0-13 on the year after dropping their sixth straight conference match. The loss marks the fifth match this season in which ULM lost by only one goal, the third in the last four matches.
ULM will travel north to South Carolina on Sunday, Oct. 7 to face Coastal Carolina at 12 p.m. (CT).
