Colonials continue hot start with third straight victory
WASHINGTON - In its return to the GW Soccer Field on the Mount Vernon Campus for its first of three consecutive home matches, the George Washington women's soccer team continued its hot start to the 2018 season, shutting out Delaware, 2-0, on Thursday evening.
HOW IT HAPPENED
• 57th Minute: After battling in the middle for the majority of the game, the Colonials began to push offensively and were finally able to break the deadlock with a header from Alexis Williams off of a perfect cross from Sofia Pavon. (GW 1, UD 0)
• 68th Minute: The Colonials continued their offensive uptick in the second half, tallying three shots on goal before getting the ball past the Blue Hens keeper to give GW a 2-0 advantage. With the ball flanking to the left of the field, Pavon sped ahead of a Delaware defender and crossed the ball right in front of the net where Megan McCormick was able to tip it in for the tally. (GW 2, UD 0)
NOTEWORTHY
• Sofia Pavon tallied an assist on both goals in today's contest, marking her first career multi-assist match.
• Alexis Williams continued to dominate on attack and scored her third goal in as many games against Delaware. The sophomore paces the team with seven points (3g, 1a) and is 8-for-8 with shots on goal.
• Captain Megan McCormick earned a spot on the score sheet with her first goal since 2016. The center back has already tallied a career-high four points on the season, previously making an assist against The University of the Pacific and at Liberty.
• Keeper Anna Tapen has proved her worth between the pipes and earned her second career clean sheet against the Blue Hens. The senior made a season-high matching six saves in today's contest.
• After edging the Blue Hens 3-2 in shots going into the break, the Colonials continued to push offensively to finish the match with a 10-9 advantage (7-6 SOG). GW also took four corner kicks to Delaware's three.
