YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. - The University of North Georgia men's soccer team fell to No. 9 Young Harris, 1-0, in the final seconds of the first overtime period Wednesday night.
The Nighthawks had chances to score in regulation, starting with an eighth minute chance that saw a pass come in to
Eren Ozer, but a heavy touch ended the Nighthawk threat. Another attack in the 59th minute had the YHC keeper with his hands full having to make a save on an Ozer shot.
After neither team could break through, Seba Andreassen took a pass and beat the UNG defense with three seconds to play in the first overtime period to score the golden goal and win the game for the Mountain Lions.
NOTES
- With the win, Young Harris ensures that with a win or draw against Francis Marion Saturday, they will be a top two seed. North Georgia still has work to do to make the tournament, and if they do so, they will be either the No. 5 or 6 seed.
- Young Harris fired 20 shots on the night, seven of which were on goal. UNG had just eight shots with only one on target.
NEXT UP
North Georgia will wrap up the regular season with a home match against Georgia Southwestern. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
