HOW IT HAPPENED
• 5^thMinute: GW was the first to strike with an early goal from Maria Pareja. Sammy Neyman passed the ball from the corner to Hannah Zaluski, who shot from way out into the box. Pareja was positioned just in front of the goal and was able to tip it in to give GW the early lead. GW 1, SJU 0
• 51^st Minute: Pavon padded the Colonials' lead with a strike from long range. Zaluski found Pavon in the pocket, giving her the opportunity to shoot a laser into the upper right hand corner of the net. GW 2, SJU 0
• 73^rd Minute: The Colonials kept it going in the second half and added to their lead with a goal from Rachel Sorkenn. Following a SJU corner kick, Tori Minda secured the ball and went on a break away down the field, and weaved around the Hawks' defender to find Sorkenn. Sorkenn struck from deep to bring GW's advantage to three. GW 3, SJU 0
