Northeast women’s soccer falls in hard-fought match at National Tournament

EVANS, Ga. – Two goals in the first half proved to be the difference for the Northeast Community College women's soccer team at the NJCAA DII Women's National Tournament on Friday. The Hawks (12-4-1), seeded ninth in the tournament fell to fourth-seed Heartland Community College, 2-0 at Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga.
