DAHLONEGA - The University of North Georgia men's soccer team will be back in action Monday afternoon at the UNG Soccer Complex at Lynn Cottrell Park as they play host to Lander. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.
The Nighthawks are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss at Georgia Southwestern last Monday.
Benjamin Elgueta,
Michael Walsh,
Santiago Gimenez and
Gustavo Alencar all scored for the Nighthawks in the loss.
Lander is 3-0 on the year, having not allowed a goal all year. The Bearcats started the spring season with a 1-0 exhibition win over South Carolina before shutting out Francis Marion, GSW and Flagler. Tom Marriott and Max McNulty each have two goals scored this season.
UNG Athletics will continue to offer complimentary admission to baseball, softball and soccer but will limit venue capacity at each facility based on available socially distant spaces. Admission to events will be capped when all marked seating in the bleachers and common areas for standing/chairs is occupied. UNG adjusted the seating configuration to adhere to social distancing guidelines in all facilities, with Nighthawks Athletic Club members (All-Region level or higher) and UNG students having top priority in the process. Rows, seats and common viewing areas are marked to maintain six feet of separation between attendees, who are not members of the same party.
To promote and prioritize the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches and game day personnel, fans will not be allowed to stand against the perimeter fence of each field/court to include the foul lines at baseball and softball and the stadium sideline at soccer. All policies are subject to change in accordance with national, state and local guidelines. Masks/face coverings are required for entry into the facility and must be worn at all times while inside the facility unless actively eating or drinking. Any individual who does not comply with this policy will be asked to leave the facility. The concessions stand will feature a reduced menu of pre-packaged items. Aramark Catering will accept both cash and credit cards.
