Men's Soccer Downed at Columbia
9/3/2021 3:37:00 PM | Men's Soccer
Buff & Blue are home twice next week
NEW YORK - GW men's soccer couldn't match Columbia's second-half surge on Friday afternoon, falling 2-0 in a non-conference matchup at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium.
After a scoreless opening 45 minutes, the Lions struck quickly out of the break with two scores in the first 3:33 of the second half to seize control and ultimately claim the home victory.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- 46th Minute: Just 31 seconds after the halftime break, Jake Novoshelski found Ryan Kipness behind the defense to break the stalemate. (Columbia 1, GW 0)
- 49th Minute: Three minutes later, the Lions added on with Kipness assisting Novoshelski this time. (Columbia 2, GW 0)
NOTEWORTHY
- Both sides finished with nine shots. GW forced Columbia goalkeeper Michael Collodi to make three saves with Sean Vaghedi (17th minute), Oscar Haynes Brown (84th) and Sandro Weber (90th) getting looks on target.
- Justin Grady recorded three saves in the Buff and Blue net.
UP NEXT: GW returns to the Mount Vernon Campus for two home games next week. The Buff and Blue host Liberty on Tuesday in a 2 p.m. start, before welcoming Navy next Friday for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
