Bulldogs fall to Meridian on late goal

PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast dominated possession against the Meridian women's soccer team Tuesday, but a late counterattack gave the Eagles a 1-0 win at Bary Thrash Field.

Meridian (6-5-1, 4-1-1 MACCC South) scored with 9:56 left to play to grab a key division win and sweep the season series.

Gulf Coast falls to 5-5, 3-3. The Bulldogs missed an opportunity to move past the Eagles into second in the South but maintained their hold on third place.
