#2 Roadrunners Roll To Another Big Win


DALTON, GA. – The #2-ranked Dalton State Roadrunners collected their 2nd conference win of the week with another dominating performance on Sunday afternoon, beating Middle Georgia State 5-0, scoring 4 of 5 goals in the 2nd portion of play. The win extends the Birds' winning streak against the Knights to 11, moving the record against the SSAC opponent to (11-1) all-time.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
FIRST HALF
  • (1-0) DS: The Birds got things going in the 25' following a deflected corner kick, found by Jurgen Ramirez, teaming up with Josh Ramos to find Zachary Perry, who precisely placed it into the top left corner of the net.
SECOND HALF
  • (2-0) DS: In the 52', the Roadrunners were granted a corner kick, giving Rasmus Andersson the opportunity that led to a beautiful header by Gavin Taylor to extend the lead.
  • (3-0) DS: Like the previous match, DS started scoring in bunches. Just 6 minutes later in the 58', Dalton State increased the deficit thanks to a long pass sent downfield by Guilherme Franca, leaving Jack Stainrod open grass and plenty of room to score his 1st notch of the competition.
  • (4-0) DS: With less than 10 minutes to play in the 80', the Birds were given a free kick after a Knight foul, setting up another Jurgen Ramirez assist that grazed the top of the defenders and Kazuma Ishizuka sending it past the goalie.
  • (5-0) DS: Less than a minute later in 81' Jack Stainrod cemented the final score with his 2nd tally of the afternoon and team-leading 16th point of the season.
THE REST OF THE STORY
#2 Dalton State (Ga.) improves their record (5-0-3 overall, 2-0-1 SSAC) with the victory. At the same time, Middle Georgia State (Ga.) falls to (0-7-0 overall, 0-3-0 SSAC) following the loss. The Birds once again found most of their success in 2nd half, proving to be challenging to slow down once things get going.
 
The Roadrunners outshot the Knights 16-9, with Middle Georgia State's goalie Joshua Kaandorp collecting 4 saves and Dalton State goalie Michael Barrueta saving 1 of his own.
