No. 19 Young Harris Edges Men's Soccer in Double Overtime, 2-1

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. - Matt Sharman made 12 saves in the match, but the University of North Georgia men's soccer team was edged by No. 19 Young Harris, 2-1, in double overtime Wednesday night at YHC's Soccer and Lacrosse Field.

Alex Grant scored the match's first goal off a Carl Ludwig Eriksson corner kick in the sixth minute of play to put the Nighthawks up, 1-0. The score remained a goal advantage for UNG until the 73rd minute when Seba Andreassen leveled the match.

The North Georgia defense held strong against the constant pressure of Young Harris through the remainder of regulation and the first overtime period, but the Mountain Lions snuck one past off a corner kick by Macauley King, finding Carlos Gomez in the 104th minute to earn the golden goal victory.

NOTES
- Sharman's 12 saves is tied for the third most in program history, tying Rade Tanaskovic's 12-save performance against Lander exactly nine years ago.

- Tonight's match was the third straight meeting that the two sides have played to a one-goal difference.

NEXT UP
The Nighthawks host Flagler Saturday afternoon at the UNG Soccer Complex. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. in Dahlonega.
