Colonials await the quarterfinals next weekend
FAIRFAX, Va. - GW men's soccer clinched a spot in the A-10 Championship tournament on Saturday night when it downed George Mason, 3-0, in the final match of the regular season. The Colonials delivered in a must-win scenario and will now turn to the postseason.
How it Happened:
26th Minute: Elias Norris scored his seventh goal of the season after receiving a pass from Roee Tenne at midfield. All on his own, Norris took the ball into the box and slotted his shot into the upper-right corner of the net.
46th Minute: Lucas Matuszewski doubled the GW lead right out of halftime as he headed in a Tom Cooklin driven corner. Matuszewski rose higher than anyone in the mix and flicked the ball past the Patriots' goalkeeper.
53rd Minute: Not even a minute after ringing a shot off the post, Oscar Haynes Brown scored on a fast break to move himself into 5th on GW men's soccer's all-time points list. Carter Humm and Tom Cooklin were credited with assists on Haynes Brown's goal.

Oscar Haynes Brown moved into fifth on GW men's soccer's all-time points list, passing Andy Stadler (2006-09) with the 83rd and 84th points of his career.

With two assists tonight, Tom Cooklin now stands alone at the top of the NCAA with 13 assists.
