Women’s Soccer Triumphs on Senior Day
10/20/2019 3:52:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Colonials top St. Bonaventure, 2-1
WASHINGTON -- On a rainy afternoon at the GW Soccer Field on the Mount Vernon Campus, the George Washington women's soccer team took a triumphant win over the visiting St. Bonaventure Bonnies, 2-1. The Colonials scored a pair of goals in the first half and were able to stall the Bonnies in the second to cement their Senior Day victory.
With the win, the Colonials return to the top of the Atlantic 10 (12-1-3, 7-0-1 A-10) with Saint Louis. The Billikens saw their winning streak come to an end at George Mason, playing the Patriots to a 0-0 draw that ended in the 70th minute due to inclement weather.
HOW IT HAPPENED
• 7th Minute – GW came out hot from the jump and was the first on the board with a goal from Rachel Sorkenn. Annie Pierce, in her first start of the season, battled to keep the ball in the Buff and Blue attacking zone and was able to pass it over to Kelly Amador on the far left side of the box. Amador found Sorkenn in pocket, who shot the ball just beyond the reach of the Bonnies keeper. GW 1, SBU 0
• 25th Minute – The Colonials were able to convert from the corner with a goal from Madi Coyne. Sofia Pavon took the corner and positioned the ball right in front of the net, giving Coyne the opportunity to head it in. GW 2, SBU 0
• 55th Minute – The Bonnies converted from the corner to bring it within one. GW 2, SBU 1
NOTEWORTHY
• A defender, Coyne scored her career-high fourth goal of the season against the Bonnies. She sits just behind fellow center back Megan McCormick (10 points, 5g) with eight points.
• On Senior Day, Annie Pierce made the first start of her career, playing 46 minutes. Pierce helped keep the ball in the GW attacking zone at the beginning of the game, giving the Colonials their first tally of the match.
• GW recognized its six graduating seniors prior to the start of today's contest. Deena DeSilva, Olivia Di Cristofaro, Anya Heijst, Megan McCormick, Sofia Pavon, and Annie Pierce helped lead the Colonials to four consecutive winning seasons, posting a 43-21-9 record since 2016.
• The Colonials held a 12-10 edge in shots and an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks.
• Keeper Tamaki Machi finished the day with five saves.
ON DECK
GW will make the short trip to Revolutionary Rival George Mason on Thursday, October 24 (7 p.m.) for its last road trip of the regular season before returning home to host Saint Louis on Sunday, October 27 for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
