DAHLONEGA - Taylor Malasek netted two goals, including one just 2:08 into the contest, as the University of North Georgia women's soccer team shot past No. 23 Limestone, 3-0, Saturday evening at the UNG Soccer Complex. North Georgia improves to 7-3-2 in 2017 and 2-1 against top-25 teams.

Malasek scored the first goal off a long pass from Jessi Vaverka to put UNG up, 1-0, early. Both teams settled in for the remainder of the first half, but Renee VanHorn put home her eighth goal of the season in the 52nd minute on a header sent to the far post.

The freshman from Peachtree City, Georgia, got her second goal of the match when Rosie Embley sent a rolling pass across the front of the frame that sent the match to its final score.

NOTES
- North Georgia held the Saints to just two shots in the second half of play. Limestone averaged 20 shots per match coming in to the contest, but the Nighthawks held them to eight.

- Malasek is now tied for first in the Peach Belt in goals scored with three other players having scored nine goals this year.

- UNG has not allowed a goal against Limestone in the last three meetings, outscoring the Saints 9-0 in those matches.
