North Georgia women's soccer caps strong opening weekend
DAHLONEGA -- The University of North Georgia women's soccer team (2-0-0) capped off their opening weekend with an impressive 4-1 victory over Lees-McRae College (0-1-0) Sunday afternoon at the UNG Soccer Complex.
After a 55-minute lightning delay just before kickoff, the Nighthawks got on the board first with junior Cicely Taliaferro scoring her second goal of the season in just the 14th minute of play on a ball from senior Megan Morrow. The Bobcats quickly answered though with Mikaela Renfro scoring the equalizer in the 18th minute.
North Georgia pulled away in the closing minutes of the first half. Freshman Jessi Vaverka scored her first career goal for the Blue and Gold on a well executed cross from junior Jordan Draughon in the 33rd minute.
Less than five minutes later, Taliaferro and Morrow hooked up again off a free kick to give UNG a two-goal advantage heading into the half.
The Nighthawks threatened to add a fourth goal on numerous attempts through out the second half and finally broke through in the 88th minute with sophomore Jessica Dacey pushing her first goal of the season through the upper right corner to give UNG the 4-1 lead that proved final.
North Georgia will hit the road for the first time this weekend, traveling to Charlotte, N.C., to take on Queens University, with kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
