WASHINGTON – In its return to the GW Soccer Field on the Mount Vernon Campus, the George Washington women's soccer team notched its fourth straight victory with a 2-1 overtime win against the visiting Fordham Rams.

HOW IT HAPPENED
• 39^th Minute – After a back-and-forth battle for most of the half, Fordham was able to break the deadlock with a goal from Crea Durante-Baker. FOR 1, GW 0
• 53^rd Minute – GW came out hot in the second half with four early chances before finding the back of the net. Sammy Neyman sent the ball from the far right side of the field to Megan McCormick, who was able to head it in to even the score. GW 1, FOR 1
• 95^th Minute – For the third time this season, GW converted from the corner to score the game-winning goal. Neyman took the corner kick and positioned the ball to the far left of the net, giving Madi Coyne the opportunity to head it just beyond the reach of the Rams' keeper. GW 2, FOR 1
