The victory extended SWAC unbeaten streak to 16 games, dating back to Sept. 30, 2022.
Alabama A&M fell to 2-8 overall and 0-1 in the SWAC.
Both team battled to a 0-0 tie heading into halftime with GSU outshooting AAMU 2-1. The Tigers broke through in the 61st minute on a goal from Gage. She was assisted by Alana Aiken, her first career assist.
