Turner scores twice to help GW to first A-10 win of 2024

WASHINGTON - The George Washington University men's soccer team (2-8-2, 1-3-1 A-10) picked up its first A-10 win of 2024, beating Saint Joseph's (2-10-1, 0-5-0 A-10) by a final of 2-0 at the GW Soccer Field on Saturday afternoon. Graduate midfielder Will Turner scored both goals while sophomore goalkeeper Tom Macauley kept the Hawks quiet to lead GW to the full three points.

HOW IT HAPPENED
15TH MINUTE: Sean Vaghedi sent in a long cross and connected with Turner who volleyed a shot past the Hawks' goalkeeper to open the scoring.
23RD MINUTE: A flurry of shots and a moment of chaos in the SJU box led to a Jaden Dubon cross, which found Turner again who headed the ball home for his second goal of the match to double GW's lead.

Shots were even at 13-13, but GW led 5-1 in shots on goal.
GW had five field players go the full 90 minutes: Turner, Roee Tenne, Nico Medina, Colin Prendergast and Dan Dobrin.

The only yellow card of the match was issued to Saint Joseph's Bart Kooistra in the 62nd minute.
