ATLANTA – The Texas State soccer team saw its four-match winning and shutout streaks come to an end on a cool Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 loss at Georgia State at the GSU Soccer Complex. The shutout streak was tied for the fourth longest in program history.
 
With the loss, the Bobcats drop to 8-6-2 on the season and 4-3-1 in the Sun Belt Conference while the Panthers are now 6-8-2 overall and 3-4-1 in conference play.
 
It was a defensive stalemate with the first shot of the match coming in the 17th minute from Bailey Peschel off a corner kick.
 
GSU found the back of the net early in the 29th minute when Jimena Cabrero split two TXST defenders to get off a shot. The goal snapped the Bobcats scoreless streak at 450:35 minutes with the last goal allowed coming on Sept. 29 at Arkansas State.
 
Texas State attempted two more shots in the first half, both in the 37th minute. The first from Jordan Kondikoff went over the crossbar and Ally Kewish's attempt went wide of the left post.
 
Over the first 12 minutes of the second half, the Panthers placed three shots on goal. All of them were stopped by Heather Martin to keep it a one-goal contest.
 
The Bobcats nearly found the equalizer midway through the 74th minute after GSU was called for a foul near the box and Eva Lois Diez was issued a yellow card. Kondikoff's free kick found the head of Haley Groff but the ball went over the crossbar.
 
While only holding a 7-6 advantage in shots, the Panthers placed five of their attempts on goal with only one for TXST. Pacing the Bobcats with two shots was Kewish.
 
Martin made four saves on the afternoon. She now has 266 saves in her career and is two shy of matching Little Rock's Breland Smiechowski (2004-07) for 20th in Sun Belt history.
 
Texas State concludes the regular season next weekend with two home matches. First up will be Troy at 7 p.m. on Friday.
