THOMASVILLE, Ga. – A pair of Thomas University freshmen each scored two goals in the Night Hawks' 4-2 victory over Point (Ga.) University Wednesday in the women's soccer home opener. 

"The team came out and really demonstrated what they learned after our weekend matches," Head Coach Julie Orlowski said. "Tactically, they really played well and found the proper spaces to exploit. Our depth really shined and wore our their back line."

Rookies Selma Brorsson and Jahzyiah Samuels-Williams each netted a pair of goals in their first match at the TU Soccer Complex, which was also TU's first win of the season. 

"Overall, we had very good team effort today, and to have two freshmen get two goals each is a sign of very good things to come," Orlowski added. 

TU improved to 1-1-1 on the season while Point dropped to 2-3. 

Thomas outshot Point, 24-13, including 11-7 on goal, and TU took nine corners, to Point's one. 

Point took the early lead with a goal in the 15th minute, then Thomas tied the match just before the half. Brorsson's fourth shot attempt of the match found the back of the net, scoring her first goal of the game in the 44th minute. 

At 63:44 Samuels-Williams netted her first goal of the match, giving TU the 2-1 lead, but three minutes later the Skyhawks again knotted the score. 

Samuels-Williams answered in the 70th minute with her second goal of the match, putting the Night Hawks up, 3-2. Ten minutes later, Carolina Ochoa assisted Brorsson's second goal of the match. 

Thomas returns to the pitch Saturday for a home exhibition against ASA-Miami at 4 p.m. Then next Thursday Thomas hosts The Sun Conference / Southern States Challenge at the TU Soccer Complex. The Night Hawks face No. 12 Mobile (Ala.) Sept. 13 at 1 p.m., then No. 2 William Carey (Miss.) Sept. 15 at 3:30 p.m.
