WASHINGTON - Fresh off its 1-0 win over Iona in Saturday's home opener, the George Washington men's soccer team (1-0-2, 0-0-0 A-10) will look to defend The Vern again on Tuesday when it hosts Stony Brook (1-2-0, 1-0-0 CAA). Kickoff at the GW Soccer Field has been moved to 4:30 p.m. due to expected high temperatures, and the match will be streamed on ESPN+.
A SPLENDID SATURDAY
GW picked up its first win of 2023 on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Iona. First-year Ben Hissrich stayed hot with his third goal in three matches and scored the game-winner with his blast in the 79th minute, while senior goalkeeper Duncan Wegner made 10 saves and recorded his first-career shutout in his first start of 2023.
GW remains unbeaten after Saturday's victory and the Revolutionaries are off to their second-consecutive 1-0-2 start to the year.
ABOUT THE OPPONENT
Stony Brook enters Tuesday's match at 1-2-0 on the season and 1-0 in CAA matches. The Seawolves lost its first two matches of the year to LIU and Iona, before bouncing back with a 4-0 win over CAA rival Elon.
Seawolves midfielder Amit Magoz was recently tabbed as the CAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week following his five-point week. Magoz scored in Stony Brook's loss to Iona, and picked up a goal and an assist in the Seawolves win over Elon.
