WASHINGTON -- The George Washington women's soccer squad battled to the last minute of play, but were edged by Saint Louis, 1-0, when a Billikens' header off the corner kick found the back of the net with 36 seconds left on the clock.
The score stayed at zero for the first 89 minutes, with each back line holding strong against the opponents' attack. With the shots even at eight late in the contest, redshirt senior goalkeeper Miranda Horn made a big save with four minutes left on the clock before the Billikens were able to find the goal.
