DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The Clayton State University men's soccer team traveled to the Mountains of North Georgia to play the Nighthawks of the University of North Georgia on Wednesday evening.  The Lakers struck first but ultimately fell to North Georgia, 2-1. 
 
The Lakers got off to a hot start.  In the ninth minute, Ethan Elmore was streaking down the middle of the field and found Arttu Leivonen who went 1v1 with the Nighthawk keeper.  Arttu then finished for the goal and made the score, 1-0.  The Lakers kept knocking on the door.  In the 11th minute, Leivonen flicked the ball up into the box and found Joao Amaral open and had his shot saved by a Nighthawk defender and the score still stood at 1-0. 
 
The Lakers saw opportunities by Amaral and Velez down the stretch but were unable find the back of the net again in the half.  North Georgia added a late goal in the 44th minute and the two teams found themselves tied at one going into the break.  The Lakers notched six shots on the half and George Roke made one save.
