CARROLLTON, Ga. - Asa Thorsen connected on her first goal of the season in the second overtime period, ending the game with the University of North Georgia women's soccer team defeating West Georgia, 3-2, Wednesday evening at UWG's University Field. The Nighthawks are now 1-1-1 in 2017.

Olivia Dumphy got the scoring started in the 20th minute after she took a pass from Thorsen and Rosie Embley to put UNG on top, 1-0. It took 30 more minutes for North Georgia to double its lead as Taylor Malasek put home a shot assisted by Renee VanHorn in the 50th minute of play.
