MORROW, Ga. – After a scoreless first half, the University of North Georgia women’s soccer team scored five second-half goals to defeat Clayton State, 5-1, Wednesday evening at CSU’s Laker Field. The Nighthawks clinch at least the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Peach Belt Conference Tournament with the win.

DAHLONEGA – Renee VanHorn had two goals and the defense didn’t allow a shot as the University of North Georgia women’s soccer team led from start to finish in a 5-0 win over Francis Marion Saturday night at the UNG Soccer Complex. The Nighthawks improve to 3-0-0 in Peach Belt play and 5-1-2 overall.

“We did exactly what we needed to do,” said head women’s soccer coach Chris Adams. “I thought everyone came in and contributed without letting the level of play drop tonight.”

VanHorn opened the scoring with a penalty kick goal in the fourth minute of play and followed that up with her second goal of the match in the 15th minute off a Payton Bisso pass.

Taylor Malasek increased the UNG lead with a shot from just outside the box after receiving a pass from Rosie Embley. The Nighthawks made the score 4-0 at halftime when Daizah Patterson scored her first goal of the season with seconds remaining in the half. Bisso scored the game’s final goal right at the beginning of the second half off a pass from Brynn Finneran.

NOTES

– 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.
