Kelly Amador's brace leads colonials to victory
WASHINGTON - GW women's soccer scored a pair of second half goals in the Steel City to help them take home a 3-1 victory against Duquesne on Thursday.
Senior Kelly Amador's brace helped fuel the Buff & Blue offense, while first-year Alicia Window stayed scorching hot, scoring her fourth goal in three games.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- 23rd Minute: Kelly Amador staked the Buff & Blue to an early lead when she buried a volley past Dukes' goalie Megan Virgin for her third goal of the season. Cammie Dopke and Sammy Neyman assisted on Amador's opening strike.
- 42rd Minute: The Dukes were able to tie the score just before halftime when Jaimi Araujo put a ball past senior goalkeeper Erica Lorenzana.
- 50th Minute: Amador found paydirt for the second time after a misplay by Dukes goalkeeper Bella DeFabbo set Amador up with a wide open shot from five yards out. Cammie Dopke tallied her second assist of the night on the Colonials' second goal.
- 73rd Minute: Alicia Window continued her incredible goal scoring run, burying a strike past DeFabbo for GW's third tally of the game, and Window's fourth goal in three games.
NOTEWORTHY
- The match, which began at 7 p.m., took close to four hours to complete due to a 90-minute lightning delay and a brief delay due to a stadium light outage.
- Thursday marked the first career brace for Amador. She joins Alicia Window as the only other Colonial with a multi-goal game this season.
- Amador, who leads GW in points through 17 games, now has 12 on the year.
- First-year Alicia Window has now scored in three straight matches. She is the first Colonial to score in three consecutive matches since Natalie Silberman scored in six straight for GW last season.
- Window's five goals are the most by a GW first-year since Sofia Pavon scored six in 2015. Pavon, who was named 2015 A-10 Rookie of the Year, finished the season with six goals and 13 points.
- Cammie Dopke's two assists were the first two helpers of her career, and her first points as a Colonial.
- Erica Lorenzana, who started her second straight game, stopped three of the four Duquesne shots she faced.
- GW led Duquesne in shots, 12-11, shots on goal, 8-4, and corner opportunities, 2-1.
UP NEXT: GW will close out the regular season against Davidson on Sunday, October 21 at 1 p.m. Before the match, the Colonials will honor six seniors as part of their Senior Day festivities.
