MORROW, Ga. – Winners of four of their last five games, the Clayton State women's soccer team needed just one goal to prevail at Laker Field, 1-0, over North Georgia in Saturday's crucial Peach Belt Conference matchup.
 
Tied 0-0 for most of the first half, Kamila Mroziewicz scored off a Marie Devillers corner in the 40th minute to give the Lakers a 1-0 lead headed into halftime.
 
The goal proved the be the gamewinner, but Clayton State had to hold off a fierce offensive attack from the Nighthawks.

With the win, Clayton State now sits tied for fourth in the regular season standings with UNG. The Lakers hold the tiebreaker over the Nighthawks with Saturday's win and needs to win next Saturday against Young Harris to clinch fourth in the standings and a home, PBC quarterfinal matchup.
