#KICKorTREAT: The Colonials will look to Pack the Vern on Sunday for their game with the Bilikens. The free-for-all-fans match will feature trick-or-treating with GW's athletics teams, a monster march at half time and FREE food.
LAST TIME OUT: On a rainy afternoon at the GW Soccer Field, the Colonials (12-1-3, 7-0-1 A-10) took a triumphant win over the visiting St. Bonaventure Bonnies, 2-1, on Sunday.

O FROM D: GW's center backs, Megan McCormick and Madi Coyne, have both hit career-highs in goals scored in 2019. McCormick leads all defenders with 10 points on five goals while Coyne follows closely behind with eight points on four goals. Both center backs scored last week, with McCormick converting from a corner kick with a header in the Colonials' 2-0 shutout over Saint Joseph's, and Coyne getting a header of her own in GW's win over St. Bonaventure.

DOWN TO THE WIRE: With the Colonials win on Sunday, GW returned to the top of the Atlantic 10 with Saint Louis. The Bilikens 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. Massachusetts rounds out the top-three in the conference, owning a 5-2-1 record in A-10 action.
