STATESBORO, Ga. - South Georgia Tormenta FC defeated Young Harris College 3-1 today in the squad's final preseason test of 2022. It was a fast-paced and physical match at Erk Russell Park against a hard-pressing Young Harris side, but a brace from a Tormenta FC trialist secured the home side's win.
Young Harris took the lead in the 25th minute after an own goal slipped past goalkeeper Pablo Jara at a tight angle. Shortly after, midfielder Gabriel Cabral nearly tied the match with a shot on goal.
In the 34th minute, a Tormenta FC trialist found Chris Heckenberg's pass inside the box and evened the score line with a shot to the back of the net. Just four minutes later, the same trialist fired a powerful shot from the top of the 18-yard box and scored to pull Tormenta FC ahead 2-1.
South Georgia held off Young Harris throughout the second half and finally netted a third goal via another trialist, bringing the final score to 3-1. The team now turns its eyes toward April 2 and looks to defeat North Carolina FC in its 2022 USL League One home opener.
Tormenta FC is excited for a historic 2022 as it transitions from Erk Russell Park to Tormenta Stadium.
