AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken women's soccer team lost a hard-fought 1-0 decision to No. 22 North Georgia Thursday evening.

Gressa Olson booted a shot toward the frame that was saved in the 58th minute of play. Raegan Buchanan's shot was blocked at the 75:08 mark, resulting in a corner kick. However, USC Aiken was unable to convert on the set piece after Tashiana Kwatowski's shot narrowly missed the left post.

The Nighthawks took a 1-0 lead at the 76:12 mark.  

USC Aiken was unable to get another shot to try and equalize the match.

For the contest, Payne led the way with two shots while Olson recorded the team's shot on goal. Between the pipes, Martell played all 90 minutes. She stopped the high-powered Nighthawks' offense eight times.
