Neyman nets goal in second straight contest
WASHINGTON - GW women's soccer opened up its home campaign on Thursday evening at the Mount Vernon Soccer Field, battling both UNCG and a setting sun thanks to a kick-off delayed by weather. The end result was a 1-1 draw that was called five minutes into the first overtime on account of darkness.
