DAHLONEGA – Eren Ozer slipped a shot past the West Alabama keeper in the 80th minute and Conner Domaleski made multiple saves late as the University of North Georgia men’s soccer team defeated the Tigers, 2-1, Thursday evening.

Victor Galterio got North Georgia on the board in the 20th minute as he took a pass from Michael Walsh and shot from over 30 yards out, beating the Tiger keeper just below the crossbar to put the Nighthawks up, 1-0.

Paul Florian Efang drew the Tigers level in the 65th minute off a corner kick, heading the ball into the net, but Ozer pulled the Nighthawks back in front, taking a pass from Donovan Odier and pushing it below the UWA keeper’s right arm and into the net.

Down the stretch, West Alabama pushed numbers forward and fired shots toward goal, but the defense turned them away. Domaleski was called on with 45 seconds left as he dove to his right and punched a shot away from the goal and preserving the win.

NOTES

North Georgia took just nine shots in the match, but five of those were on target. UWA fired 15 shots, five of which were on frame.

West Alabama took six corner kicks on the night compared to just one for North Georgia.

Eduardo Pessoa scored twice and Eren Ozer scored late as the University of North Georgia men’s soccer team earned a 4-4 draw with Tampa Thursday night at Clayton State’s Laker Field.

Tampa got things going in the 12th minute with a goal from Till Neumann, but the Nighthawks answered as Adam Farrell put home the first UNG goal of 2018 on a penalty kick in the 37th

minute. Just four minutes later, though, the Spartans regained the lead on a shot from distance to take a 2-1 lead to halftime.

After most of the second half went by scoreless, UNG evened it up with the first Pessoa goal of the night off a Prince Domafriyie pass. Tampa answered with two goals within 60 seconds of one another to take a 4-2 lead.

The Nighthawks didn’t give up, however, as Pessoa scored his second with 12 minutes left off a rebound before Eren Ozer hit a penalty kick in the 82nd minute to tie the game back up. Tampa took 12 shots in the overtime periods but could not find a fifth goal and the game ended in a draw.

Men’s Soccer Clinches No. 3 Seed in 5-2 Win at Clayton State

University of North Georgia
10/25/2017 | Men’s Soccer | Box Score
MORROW, Ga. – A five-goal performance powered the University of North Georgia men’s soccer team to clinch the No. 3 seed in the upcoming Peach Belt Conference Tournament after a 5-2 win over Clayton State Wednesday night at CSU’s Laker Field. The Nighthawks are now 8-6 overall.

Gabriel Garcia scored the lone first half goal in the 30th minute of play, and Evan Davis doubled the Nighthawk lead in the 52nd minute. Seconds later, Ivan Acimovic netted a goal to put UNG up, 3-0.

Alex Grant was able to stretch the lead to four goals with a goal from distance in the 69th minute, but the Lakers responded with a goal moments later to give UNG a 4-1 lead. The lead was cut to 4-2 in the 85th minute, but Eren Ozer brought the match to its final score with a breakaway goal in the 86th minute.

NOTES
– This is the third time this season that the Nighthawks have scored five goals in a single game. UNG has now scored five or more goals in a match seven times in the past two seasons.

– Tonight’s win marks the second win against Clayton State in the past three seasons. Both UNG wins came at Clayton State.

– The No. 3 seeding is the second-highest seed the Nighthawks have garnered in the Peach Belt Tournament in program history, one spot below last year’s No. 2 seed. The win tonight ensures that UNG will host the Peach Belt quarterfinals on Halloween night.

NEXT UP
The Nighthawks will finish out the regular season at home against North Greenville on Saturday, October 28. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at the UNG Soccer Complex.

The Flames wasted little time getting on the board as Devin Healy scored from distance in the seventh minute to take an early lead. North Georgia answered in the 22nd minute as Malasek sent a rocket toward the frame and off of Lee’s keeper into the net to tie the game, 1-1.

Healy scored again just 10 minutes later, again from outside of the box, to give the Flames a 2-1 lead headed to halftime.

North Georgia played with more intensity in the second half and finally broke through after Abbie Crane drew a penalty that Embley put home to tie the game at two. As the game looked to be going to overtime, Lee took advantage of a called foul on UNG just outside of the box as Kelsey Yoder bent a shot inside the near post off the free kick for the game winner.
