Buff and Blue fall to the Dukes, 2-1
WASHINGTON - On a rainy Saturday afternoon in D.C., GW men's soccer (5-4-2, 1-2) came up just short against #24 Duquesne (7-1-2, 2-0-1), falling 2-1. GW drops to 1-2 in conference play while the Dukes remain unbeaten at 2-0-1 in A-10 play.
The Buff and Blue tested Duquesne throughout the match, but it was the Dukes' day. GW struck first, but a late first-half goal brought Duquesne equal at halftime. A conversion off a corner kick midway through the second half gave Duquesne the advantage, which they took to the final whistle.
How it Happened:
30th Minute: The goal for GW came on a play that started with a Justin Grady goal kick. GW gained possession in the midfield and found Tom Cooklin streaking down the sideline. Cooklin nutmegged a defender before having a crack at Duquesne goalkeeper Domenic Nascimben. Nasciamben made the initial save, but pushed the rebound to feet of Carter Humm, who converted for his second goal of the season.
43rd Minute: Duquesne equalized off a shot from the foot of Jacob Casha. Casha received the ball on a pass from midfield and shot from just outside the 18 yard box. The shot snuck past Grady and inside the right post for Casha's second of the campaign.
Notable:
-
GW suffers its first home conference loss of the season.
-
GW was outshot 17-7.
- GW's Grant Barrientos and Duquesne's Jayden Da were shown yellow cards in the 85th minute.
