Scoring three second-half goals, the Georgia Gwinnett College women's soccer team pulled away for a 4-0 victory – its second straight triumph – against Point University (Georgia) on Wednesday evening in West Point, Georgia.

Senior Kyara Armenta tallied two of the decisive goals in the second half, while freshman Riko Yasuzawa accounted for a goal and an assist to spark GGC's strong offensive attack.

Yasuzawa opened the scoring by bending a right corner kick inside Point's right goal post in the 13th minute. It was her third goal of the season and second directly off a corner kick.

Senior Pernilla Westergren opened the second half by teaming with Armenta for GGC's second goal of the match. Westergren delivered a pass to Armenta, who was able to find the back of the net for her 10th goal of the season and 30th of her career.

Two goals within a 30-second span came in the late stages of the match. Armenta scored for the second time Wednesday, this one coming in the 78th minute after receiving a pass from Yasuzawa.

Freshman Caroline Andersen tallied her third goal of the season in the 79th minute to cap the team's scoring for the match.

The Grizzlies outshot Point by a commanding 27-2 margin, with 13 of those shots being on goal. Armenta paced the offensive attack with two goals from seven shots. Junior Aurora Miglio added four shots, while Andersen and Yasuzawa each recorded three shot attempts in the victory.
  "We got contributions from a lot of players tonight. It took us a while to find our offensive rhythm, but once we did it was good soccer. Now, we focus on closing out the regular season strong against a really good Bethel team Saturday," said Head Coach Dr. Mike Giuliano.
  The Grizzlies broke open the game by scoring early in the second half on a goal by senior Kyara Armenta, her 10th tally of the season, in the 56th minute of the match. This is the most goals that the forward has ever scored in a season and was her 30th goal of her illustrious GGC career. She would add another goal later in the match.
