PERKINSTON, Ms. – It was another road game and another win for LSU Eunice Men's Soccer, taking a 2-0 decision at Mississippi Gulf Coast CC on Tuesday.  The Bengals (2-0-1) shut out an opponent for the second straight game.
 
It was a defensive minded game in the first half, with each team only putting up a few shots on target.  Josh Barrow (Prairieville, LA, Dutchtown HS) earned the clean sheet facing only one shot on goal for the entirety of the evening.
 
Mounir Salhi (Mandeville, LA, Fontainebleau HS) would finally break the gridlock in the 55th minute.  After a deflected shot bounced right back to corner kick taker Sergio Alejandro (Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Hoosac School), his attempt ricocheted off the Gulf Coast goalkeeper and right to Salhi who buried the goal from point blank range.
 
Alejandro would also get in the scoring column, providing a highlight reel worthy insurance goal.  After a long overlapping run down the left sideline, Alejandro corralled the ball on the left side of the box, cutting back behind his body before lofting a beautiful curling shot in the back upper corner.
 
LSU Eunice will play its first home game of the season this Friday, September 4 against Hill College.  The non-conference game is set for a 3:00PM first kick from the Bengal Soccer Complex.
