GW rides three second-half goals to non-conference win
DOVER, Del. – George Washington women's soccer utilized a strong second half surge by its offense to down Delaware State, 3-0, on Wednesday evening in Dover.
Following a scoreless opening half, Sammy Neyman found the back of the net just five minutes into the second 45. Goalkeeper Ainsley Lumpe made three saves on the way to her second straight clean sheet.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
50th Minute: Neyman registered her second goal of the campaign, burying a low shot that beat Hornets goalkeeper Ashley Maribo. Aoi Kataoka picked up the assist on Neyman's opening tally.
86th Minute: GW got an insurance goal off the right foot of sophomore Kelly Poole. The goal was the first of Poole's career.
88th Minute: Two minutes later, GW iced the victory thanks to Rachel Sorkenn's seventh of the season.
NOTEWORTHY:
•Sorkenn's goal was the 20th of her career, giving her sole possession of ninth place on GW's all-time goal scoring list.
•All five of Sorkenn's shots were on goal.
•Kelly Poole recorded a season-high three shots on Wednesday night.
•Wednesday's clean sheet was GW's sixth of the season. It is the first time the Buff & Blue have had six clean sheets in a single campaign since 2018.
•George Washington led the way in almost every statistical category Wednesday, including shots (17-7), shots on goal (14-3), and corner opportunities (8-3).
