FOLEY, Ala. – Olivia Smith scored the lone goal to lead the Arkansas State Women's soccer team past Georgia State 1-0, advancing to the Sun Belt Conference finals for the second consecutive year.

In the 33rd minute, Haley Husted sent a beautiful corner kick just inches in front of the net, which found the head of Julianna Coates. Coates then headed the ball towards the feet of Smith. Smith then gathered and launched the ball, but it was deflecting off a Georgia State defender. Smith was able to control the deflection and send the ball through the bottom right corner of the net, giving the Red Wolves a 1-0 advantage.
