DAHLONEGA - The University of North Georgia women's soccer team is set to open the new season Monday when they travel to UNC Pembroke.

The spring 2021 season will feature 10 Peach Belt Conference matchups prior to the conference tournament in early April. There is no national championship awarded for traditional fall sports this year.

Kayley Ralton will lead the team this season as the interim head coach as the Nighthawks try to get into the league tournament for the 14th straight year. Last season, UNG went 16-3-2 on the way to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 

North Georgia returns Taylor Malasek and Maysoon El-Shami, both preseason All-Conference nods, as well as Morgan Ramby in between the posts after finishing the year with 13 clean sheets in 2019.

Weather permitting, the game will be carried live on the PBC Sports Network, courtesy of UNC Pembroke, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. from Lumbee River EMC Stadium.
