Young Harris: Young Harris, ranked ninth in the nation headed into the matchup, is 10-3 on the year and have won five straight. At 4-1 in the Peach Belt, they are in a three-way tie atop the league table as well. The Mountain Lions are 7-1 at home this season, falling only to Lenoir-Rhyne, 1-0, back in September. Sondre Olsen leads the Mountain Lions in goals scored with 11, while Seba Andreassen has scored seven and assisted on six more. Alex Iglesias in goal has allowed just 11 goals on the year. Young Harris is 10-3 against North Georgia all-time, including winning all six matches on the other side of Blood Mountain. North Georgia is 3-1 against YHC whenever the Nighthawks score three goals.
Georgia Southwestern: Georgia Southwestern is 4-9 on the year and 0-5 in PBC action headed into a Wednesday night matchup at home against Flagler. Divin Moke leads the Hurricanes in goals scored with seven. The Nighthawks are 14-1 against GSW all-time, including winning each of the last eight. UNG has never lost on the home pitch against the 'Canes, going 7-0 at home over the course of the series.
Statistics: North Georgia ranks first in the Peach Belt and 23rd in Division II in saves per game at 5,64. The Nighthawks rank fourth in the PBC in shots per game and save percentage. Donovan Odier ranks in the top five in the Peach Belt in four statistical categories: game-winners (1st, 2); goals per game (4th, 0.50); total goals (3rd, 5); and total points (4th, 11).
PBC Standings: North Georgia currently sits in a tie for fifth place with USC Aiken but the Nighthawks have the tiebreak. UNG could get to as many as 12 points, which would give them a home quarterfinal match.
