UNG women’s soccer team rolls past USC Aiken 2-0

 

AIKEN, S.C. – Rosie Embley scored twice as the No. 20 University of North Georgia women’s soccer team shut out its fifth Peach Belt opponent of the year with a 3-0 win over USC Aiken Saturday night.

Embley got the Nighthawks on the board with a goal in the 17th minute to the right of the Pacer goalie. After going into halftime up 1-0, Katey Derkay doubled the UNG lead, scoring from about 10 yards out in the 52nd minute.

Embley scored her second goal at the one hour mark off a pass from Maysoon El-Shami that put the game at its final score.

NOTES

This is Embley’s second career brace with the first coming in her freshman year on September 17, 2016, against Georgia College.

The Nighthawk defense held USCA to just five shots with only one needing to be saved. UNG took 20 shots in comparison with eight on target.

North Georgia is now one conference clean sheet away from tying the program record for PBC shutouts in a season.

NEXT UP

The Nighthawks will go out of league play Wednesday night to battle Anderson on the road at 5 p.m.
