Lady Nighthawks fall in PBC tourney finale, waiting on NCAA tourney fate

The No. 16 University of North Georgia women's soccer team allowed a goal in the 12th minute of the 2014 Peach Belt Championship Game and despite outshooting No. 5 Columbus State 11-6 in the second half, could never find an equalizer, falling 1-0. <br /> <br /> The Nighthawks slipped to 16-4-1 with the loss and now wait to learn their NCAA Division II Tournament fate on the Tournament Selection Show at 7 p.m. Monday, on NCAA.com.<br /> <br /> Columbus State's Nicole Corcione found the back of the net at the 11:25 mark, knocking in a deflected shot off the post from Ashley Miller.<br /> <br /> The game featured two of the Peach Belt's top goalkeepers in CSU's Maylyn Parsons and UNG's Mallory Sayre; each collected six saves on the night. Sayre moves to 16-4-1 on goal for the Nighthawks this season.<br /> <br /> Freshman Rachel VanHorn and sophomore Sophia Matonak led North Georgia on the attack with five shots each, while both players put two shots on frame.<br /> <br /> Cicely Taliaferro joined Sayre and VanHorn on the PBC All-Tournament team.<br /> <br /> The PBC Championship appearance was the second for the UNG women's soccer program and first since the 2010 season.
