MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Taylor Malasek scored in the 103rd minute as the University of North Georgia scored a golden goal win over Georgia College, 3-2, in the Peach Belt Conference opener Saturday evening. North Georgia improves to 3-1-2 overall and 1-0-0 in PBC play with the win.

Renee VanHorn got the scoring started early, heading home a Brynn Finneran corner kick in the sixth minute. After a Bobcat goal six minutes later, VanHorn found the net again in the 27th minute. Charlotte Rindt passed the ball down the right side to VanHorn, who put the ball in the left side of the net to give the Nighthawks a 2-1 lead.

The game remained at the 2-1 score until the 90th minute when Georgia College sent a ball in from midfield late and was able to find the net to send the game to overtime.

The first overtime period went by scoreless, forcing the second period, where Malasek took a pass from VanHorn and scored the golden goal in the lower left corner.
