DAHLONEGA – Freshman Taylor Malasek had her first career two-goal match as the University of North Georgia women’s soccer team defeated Lander, 5-1, Wednesday evening at the UNG Soccer Complex. The Nighthawks improved to 4-2-0 in Peach Belt Conference play with the win.

“After they scored to go 1-1, we were able to put our foot back on the glass,” said head women’s soccer coach Chris Adams. “I thought we played a fantastic game in the second half.”

Malasek scored the match’s opening goal in the 11th minute off a deflection from Michelle Allen‘s cross into the box that fell right to her feet. Lander’s Sara Flores scored three minutes later to even the match at 1-1.

Both teams traded shots throughout the next 30 minutes until Rosie Embley bent a shot just under the crossbar in the 43rd minute from 25 yards out to put UNG up, 2-1, going to halftime.

After a foul was drawn in the box, Malasek put home a penalty kick in the 63rd minute to extend the Nighthawk lead. The final two goals were scored by Allen in the 78th and Jordyn Missel in the 87th, both being their first goal of the season.

NOTES
– With the win, UNG tied the all-time series with Lander at 7-7. The Nighthawks have now won three in a row against the Bearcats.

– Missel’s goal came just nine seconds after stepping on the field. The goal was also the first of her career.

– North Georgia took five shots in the second half, three of which found the back of the net.

NEXT UP
The Nighthawks will host No. 23 Limestone in non-conference play on Saturday, October 7. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholars for Division I, II & III were announced on Tuesday with a total of 952 women’s collegiate golfers recognized with this prestigious honor. The University of North Georgia women’s golf team’s Taylor Allen and Shelby Hanna each capped the 2016-17 season by earning the All-American Scholar designation.

Earlier this year, both golfers earned Peach Belt Conference All-Academic distinction with Allen also collecting the league’s Elite 15 Award. The duo is two of 14 PBC golfers to receive the accolade.

Allen graduated with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, as she collects her fourth consecutive WGCA All-American Scholar honor. She competed in 21 rounds with an 83.0 scoring average, with a season-low score of 74 in the opening round of the Armstrong Spring Invitational.

Hanna graduated with a 3.58 GPA, as the senior picked up her third WGCA All-American Scholar honor. She competed in 17 rounds with an 84.7 scoring average. She matched her season-low score of 78 twice in the Peach Belt Conference Championship.

The criteria for selection to the WGCA’s All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50.
