Women's Soccer Douses Blazers In Season-Opening Win

Box Score DAHLONEGA | The UNG women's soccer team got the 2014 season off to a strong start with a 2-0 shutout of visiting Blazers of Valdosta State on Friday afternoon at the UNG Soccer Complex.  The Nighthawks scored a goal in each half to secure a win in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

Senior Cicely Taliaferro opened the scoring when she headed home a corner kick from classmate Megan Morrow in the game's 28th minute.

The score held until Rachel VanHorn cleaned up a rebound for the Nighthawks' second goal.

North Georgia's defense was stout allowing just one chance for goalie Mallory Sayre.  Offensively, the Nighthawks 18-3 advantage in shots and took all 11 of the game's corner kicks.

UNG (1-0) returns to action on Sunday, September 7 when Lees-McRae comes to Dahlonega for a 2:00 p.m. showdown.
