NORTH GEORGIA UPSETS
SEVENTH-RANKED LANDER IN MEN'S
SOCCER
DAHLONEGA, Ga. Avram Allen scored two
goals off the bench, pacing North Georgia
College & State University to a 2-0 upset of
seventh-ranked Lander (SC) University in
Peach Belt Conference soccer action Saturday
afternoon.
Lander controlled the match for much of the
first half, until Allen subbed into the contest in
the 31st minute. After a Bradley Rose shot
that hit the post rebounded away from Lander
goalkeeper Garrett Daum, Allen was there to
put the first goal on the board for the Saints.
The junior forward was in the the right place at
the right time, and beat two defenders to the
ball and knocked the goal into the net in the
32nd minute, giving North Georgia a 1-0 lead.
The goal was just the second allowed by Daum
all season.
The two teams battled for the next 43 minutes,
until Allen struck again in the 75th minute.
After a shot attempt was saved by North
Georgia goalkeeper Brandon Kirksey, the
senior launched a punt from end-to-end,
finding Allen running in the box. The junior
beat his mark to the ball, punching the ball
past Daum for a 2-0 lead.
The score remained the same, although the
tempers did not. After Allen nearly scored his
third goal of the match in the 76th minute, both
he and Daum were given yellow cards after a
collision.
Tempers calmed down for the remaining 14
minutes of the match, allowing the Saints to
register the upset victory. Ironically, the last
time the Saints were on the home field (last
season), they upset then sixth-ranked USC
Upstate.
The shutout was the second consecutive
shutout registered by Kirksey and the fourth of
the season. The region victory was the second
consecutive victory by the Saints over a
regionally-ranked opponent, and third of
the season.
North Georgia (4-5-1, 1-0 PBC) returns to
action Tuesday afternoon against North
Greenville University. The match is set for 4
pm in Greenville.
