COLUMBUS, Ga. - The No. 25 University of North Georgia women's soccer team won its 11th straight Peach Belt Conference opener with a 1-0 win at No. 13 Columbus State Wednesday night at the Walden Soccer Complex.

After a scoreless first half, North Georgia found the eventual game winner as Abbie Crane crossed the ball in from the right side, finding Taylor Malasek for her fourth goal of 2019. From that moment forward, the Nighthawks controlled possession and fought off every CSU attack to earn the win.
