COLUMBUS, Ga. - Megan Dumond broke through midway through the second half as the No. 22 University of North Georgia women's soccer team took down seventh-ranked Columbus State, 1-0, at the Walden Soccer Complex Thursday night.

In the 69th minute, Taylor Malasek fed a pass to Dumond, who fired her shot past the Cougar keeper. After Morgan Ramby stopped two CSU shots in their tracks, the Nighthawks had a chance to extend the lead on a penalty kick that Columbus State saved to keep the game at 1-0.

Columbus State pressed forward in the final moments but the Nighthawk defense held strong to hold the clean sheet.
