FULTON, Miss. – The No. 15 Mississippi Gulf Coast Bulldogs flexed their muscles in the second half to pull away for a 5-1 win over the Indians on Friday.
The Indians (1-2) struck first when Billy Gipp (London, England) found JB Purivs (Byhalia) for the goal in the 12th minute. The Bulldogs (1-2) pulled even when Abdul Omar scored on a penalty kick in the 27th minute.
After a back-and-forth first half, the Bulldogs dominated the second half.
