Carrion Scores Twice To Lift Nighthawks To Second Straight Victory

AMERICUS, Georgia | Eric Carrion scored twice and added an assist as the UNG men's soccer team picked up its second win in as many matches, blanking host Georgia Southwestern 4-0 on Saturday afternoon. The Nighthawks scored two goals in each half to improve to 3-7-1 overall and 2-2-0 in Peach Belt Conference action.

Carrion opened the scoring in the 27th minute when he knocked home a penalty kick.  Just 11 minutes later, the Nighthawks doubled the lead when Carrion fed Luis Huertas' first goal of the season to give North Georgia a 2-0 lead.

The sophomore forward struck again less than three minutes into the second half with another penalty kick goal to give UNG a 3-0 advantage.  The goals marked Carrion's fifth scores in the last four contests.

Manuel Hernandez wrapped up the scoring in the 79th minute when he used a helper from Matt Shaftoe to beat the GSW keeper in the top left corner.

UNG held a slight edge in shots, 17-6 with both squads able to put nine shots on frame.

Victor Ohlin notched his second win of the season behind a season-best nine saves.  In the 13th minute, the junior keeper rejected a penalty kick from GSW's Avery Alderman.  Both of Ohlin's wins have come in shutout fashion.

North Georgia will return to the pitch on Wednesday, Oct. 15 when the Nighthawks host Clayton State at 7:30 p.m. at the UNG Soccer Complex.
