After winning their first two home games of the season, the Lipscomb men’s soccer team earned their first home loss on Friday night against Georgia State 3-1. With less than ten minutes having elapsed from the game clock, the Panthers struck early thanks to a goal from freshman Rashid Alarape. Georgia State clung on to their 1-0 lead for the rest of the half with continuous ball possession. The Bisons came close to scoring late in the first half when senior Luke Gearin headed the ball just wide of the net off of a corner kick. The Panthers struck early again in the second half, this time less than two minutes after kickoff. Senior Stephen McGill scored the goal. Less than two minutes later, McGill scored again. McGill’s second score came from the penalty spot after the Panthers drew a foul in the goal box. In the 17th minute, the Bisons got on the scoreboard. In a play that echoed the missed goal opportunity in the first half, Gearin headed the ball into the the net off of a corner kick from freshman Ivan Alvarado. A re-energized Bison squad attacked the net constantly in the final fifteen minutes, but could never find the back of the net. Lipscomb will kick off the conference slate Wednesday at home against USC Upstate at 7 p.m. Photo courtesy of Lipscomb...
