Box Score

Dylan Lightbourn scored in setback at UMBC

BALTIMORE – Dylan Lightbourn scored his third goal of the season, but George Washington men's soccer dropped its non-conference finale to UMBC, 3-1, on Tuesday night at Retriever Soccer Park.

After falling behind 2-0 in the first half, the Colonials (5-7-3) pulled within one on Lightbourn's 69th minute goal from Marcelo Lage. The Retrievers (9-4-2) struck back six minutes later via a penalty kick and ultimately claimed the home victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- 12th Minute: Cesare Marconi swiped a pass in front of GW's net and fired a low shot into the left corner to put UMBC on top. (UMBC 1, GW 0)
- 28th Minute: The Retrievers extended the lead when Matt Bailey emerged from a crowd in front to finish a rebound off Nick Gumbs' shot set up by a corner kick from Patrick Jean-Gilles. (UMBC 2, GW 0)
- 69th Minute: Lightbourn volleyed a cross from Lage near the penalty spot and tucked it inside the left post for his third goal of the season. Tyler Jankowski was also credited with an assist on the play. (UMBC 2, GW 1)
- 75th Minute: UMBC drew a penalty kick after a handball in the box, and James Gielen converted the attempt to restore the two-goal lead. (UMBC 3, GW 1)

NOTEWORTHY
- Lightbourn's three goals rank second on the club behind Oscar Haynes Brown (11). The senior from the Bahamas now has 11 goals and 26 points for his career.
- Lage picked up his second assist and fourth point of the season. The first-year defender is the only Colonial who has started all 15 games.
- It was the first career point for Jankowski, who became the 16th Colonial to record a point this season.
- Jason Re made his first career start in net for GW. The senior goalkeeper stayed busy against a UMBC club that tallied 20 shots in all. He recorded his first career save in the fifth minute and finished with four stops, highlighted by an excellent kick save of a Ben Dao shot in the 66th minute.
- Cameron Mathewson and Matthew Brummet also earned their first collegiate starts. Eighteen Colonials in all saw action against the Retrievers.
- GW put all four of its shots on net. Brady O'Connor was responsible for a pair of them.

UP NEXT: GW travels to Saint Louis for its A-10 road finale on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Colonials return to the Mount Vernon Campus on Oct. 31 to close the regular season, welcoming Massachusetts for a 2 p.m. start.
