CLAYTON, Ga. -- Down 2-1 midway through the first half, the University of North Alabama women's soccer team got back on track and scored seven unanswered goals enroute to an 8-2 rout of Clayton State.

The win was a key one for the 18th ranked Lions, coming off their first loss of the season Friday at Newberry. North Alabama is now 6-1 overall.

"In the second half we really relaxed and played our game and that was good to see," said UNA head coach Graham Winkworth. "We were down 2-1 and pressing and not playing the way we had been, but we got two key goals to go ahead at the half I think that put us back on track."

UNA struck first as Jo Chubb scored just 1:22 into the match off an assist from Tassia Augusto. Clayton State answered with two goals however in a seven minute period to go up 2-1 at the 9:57 mark, The Lions got a penalty kick from Hollie Loud to tie the game at 34:07, and Loud then gave UNA the lead with another goal at 37:54 off an assist from Nikki Brown. It was Brown's eighth assist of the season and the UNA single season record is 10.

The second half was all UNA as Augusto scored two goals, Chloe Roberts scored two goals and Adriene Aragon added one. Jamie Takala assisted on two second half goals and Chubb and Loud added one assist each. For the season, Roberts now leads UNA with 11 goals and Augusto has nine.

UNA goalkeeper Alex McLay had five saves for the Lions.
