By staff
DAHLONEGA -– The University of North Georgia women’s soccer team under head coach Chris Adams has released their 2013 schedule as they look to make their third straight trip to the NCAA tournament.
“This year's schedule will stretch our young and talented team,” said Adams. “The challenging out of conference games are intended to prepare us for the competitive Peach Belt Conference schedule.” The season begins with a trip to Emory University on Aug. 25. The Nighthawks will then travel to Valdosta on Sept. 6 and 8. They will play Florida Tech and Florida Southern, respectively. The Nighthawks open up their home schedule on September 11 against Lincoln Memorial before hitting the road for their last two road non-conference matchups on September 14 and the 17th against Lees-McRae and West Georgia. North Georgia also will open their Peach Belt Conference (PBC) schedule on the road against Young Harris on September 21 as part of the four-game road trip that started at Lees-McRae. The Nighthawks end the road trip at Georgia College a week after taking on the Mountain Lions. UNG will end their non-conference schedule at home against Alabama-Huntsville on Oct. 1 before hosting Armstrong Atlantic in a crucial PBC matchup on the fifth of October. After traveling to Montevallo, the Nighthawks will host Georgia Southwestern on Oct. 12. North Georgia will then travel to Clayton State on the 16th before hosting UNC Pembroke on the 19th. After a quick trip to Columbus State on the 23rd, UNG will host Flagler and Lander to finish out the home schedule on the 26th and 30th, respectively. A trip to USC Aiken on Nov. 2 will finish out the 2013 regular season before the PBC Tournament’s on Nov. 5-10. North Georgia ended the 2012 season with a record of 15-5-2 that included a trip to the NCAA Division II national tournament for the second time in as many years. The Saints out-scored their opponents 75-26 for the season including nine shutouts and did not lose a game by more than two goals all season. North Georgia also once again defeated Wingate University in the opening round of the national tournament before bowing out to No. 5 Armstrong. The 2012 campaign marked the fourth season in a row that the Saints finished with 10 or more wins in a season; the best stretch in program history. In that time, North Georgia has gone 55-18-6 including setting the program record for most wins in a season with 16 in 2011. In all four of those seasons, the Saints have also advanced to the Peach Belt Conference tournament including making the semifinal round in both 2011 and 2012 and the finals in 2010. The 2013 campaign will see seven starters return from the 2012 squad, including senior Kelly Penston, who scored 12 goals and had four assists.

Men’s Soccer Signee earns Gatorade Georgia Player of the Year | |||||||||
| |||||||||
ATLANTA—Georgia State men’s soccer signee, and McIntosh High School standout, Salomon Lorenzano, was named the 2012-13 Gatorade Georgia Boys Soccer Player of the Year.
Lorenzano signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Georgia State on Feb. 7. He is a decorated prep player that adds this latest honor to a growing list of accomplishments prior to joining GSU this fall.
“This is a tremendous honor for Salomon and one that is very well deserved” Georgia State men’s soccer head coach Brett Surrency said. “This award encompasses much more than being a talented soccer player and it goes to show the type of person Salomon is off of the field. We are looking forward to getting him integrated into the program come August and having him contribute to the team as we work towards a successful 2013 season.”
Lorenzano, a 5-foot-11, 155-pound senior forward, led the Chiefs to a perfect regular-season and a Class AAAAA Georgia state title this spring. He scored 24 goals and notched 28 assists on the season. He was the 2013 Class AAAAA Player of the Year, the 2012 Fayette County Player of the Year and was the MVP of the 2012 Georgia Soccer Coaches Association All-Star Game.
Off the field, Lorenzano has maintained a B average in the classroom. He has volunteered locally as part of fundraising campaigns to benefit muscular dystrophy and cancer research in addition to donating his time as a youth soccer coach.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field. The program awards one National Player of the Year in each sport as well.
Lorenzano joins recent Gatorade Georgia Boys Soccer Players of the Year Holden Fender (2011-12, Walton High School), John "Snoopy" Davidson (2010–11, Rome High School), Jordan McCrary (2009-10, Lassiter), Chris Thomas (2008–09 Greater Atlanta Christian School), Connor Barbaree (2007-08, Walton), and Jimmy Maurer (2006-07, St. Pius X Catholic) among the state’s list of former award winners.
