Late Goal Pushes Lee Over Women's Soccer

DAHLONEGA - Taylor Malasek and Rosie Embley each scored, but the University of North Georgia women's soccer team fell to Lee, 3-2, after a Flame goal in the 88th minute found the net.

The Flames wasted little time getting on the board as Devin Healy scored from distance in the seventh minute to take an early lead. North Georgia answered in the 22nd minute as Malasek sent a rocket toward the frame and off of Lee's keeper into the net to tie the game, 1-1.

Healy scored again just 10 minutes later, again from outside of the box, to give the Flames a 2-1 lead headed to halftime.

North Georgia played with more intensity in the second half and finally broke through after Abbie Crane drew a penalty that Embley put home to tie the game at two. As the game looked to be going to overtime, Lee took advantage of a called foul on UNG just outside of the box as Kelsey Yoder bent a shot inside the near post off the free kick for the game winner.

NOTES
- Four of North Georgia's last five losses, dating back to last year, have been by one goal.

- Embley led UNG in shots taken with seven, six of which were on frame. Malasek had five shots, four on goal.
