Women’s Soccer Secures No. 2 Seed for A-10 Championship

Colonials battle Saint Louis, but fall, 2-1
WASHINGTON – In the title game of the Atlantic 10 regular season championship, the George Washington women's soccer squad met its match against league-leading Saint Louis.
The Bilikens were the first to find the back of the net with a goal in the game's first stanza, but the Colonials responded in the second with a strike from Kelly Amador to even the score with 20 minutes to play. Despite having 10 scoring opportunities in the second half, GW could not break the Billikens back line as Saint Louis secured the regular season championship, 2-1, with a strike following a Colonial foul in the game's 83rd minute.
Despite the loss, GW earns its highest seed for the A-10 Championship since 2015 at No. 2. The Colonials will have to wait until the postponed Davidson/Fordham matchup tomorrow at 10 a.m. to see who they will host at the GW Soccer Field on the Mount Vernon Campus next Saturday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m.
HOW IT HAPPENED
• 44th Minute – After an evenly matched battle for the majority of the half, the Bilikens were able to get on the board with a goal from Courtney Reimer. Anna Walsh took the corner for Saint Louis and positioned the ball right in front of the net, giving Reimer the chance to head it just beyond the reach of Tamaki Machi. SLU 1, GW 0
• 68th Minute – GW was able to even the score with a strike from Kelly Amador. Tori Minda dribbled the ball through the Billiken back line, found Amador to the left of the box, who shot it into the back of the net. GW 1, SLU 1
• 83rd Minute – With the clock ticking down, GW took an unfortunate foul right outside the box. Saint Louis' Hannah Friedrich took the kick and scored to pull back ahead by one. SLU 2, GW 1
NOTEWORTHY
• Amador's goal marks her second in as many games and her third of the season, while Minda's assist marks her third of 2019.
• In GW's most evenly matched game of the season, Saint Louis held a narrow 18-17 edge in shots while the squads had two corner kicks apiece.
• Anyssa Ibrahim paced the squad with four shots on the day, while Amador followed closely behind with three of her own.
• Keeper Tamaki Machi tied a season-high with nine saves against the high scoring Billikens. Saint Louis' Mary Niehaus, who has only five goals against in 2019, also made nine stops on the day.
• GW wraps the regular season with its best conference record, 7-1-2, since 2015.
• The Colonials also boast the best record at home in the conference, 6-1-2.
