WASHINGTON – The George Washington women's soccer team enters the last week of the regular season with two matches left on the calendar. The Buff & Blue are set to celebrate Senior Day on Thursday against VCU, then travel to Saint Joseph's on Sunday. Game time against the Rams is set for 3:00 p.m. at The Vern, while Sunday's bout is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Both contests will be available to stream on ESPN+.
SENIOR DAY CELEBRATION
Thursday's contest against VCU will mark the final home match for 10 of GW's student-athletes. The Buff & Blue will commemorate their time with the program with a senior day ceremony slated to begin 25 minutes before the start of the match. All 10 seniors will be recognized on-field and celebrated for their athletic and academic achievements during their collegiate careers. Thursday's ceremony will not be part of the ESPN+ broadcast, so all fans wishing to watch the commemoration should plan to attend in person.
SCOUTING THE RAMS
VCU enters the week 3-8-4 overall and 2-2-4 in the Atlantic 10. Led by 12th-year Head Coach Lindsay Martin, the Rams snapped a five-match winless streak last Thursday with a 2-1 victory over Duquesne. Since then, the team dropped a road match against Dayton, 1-0, on Sunday. The Rams' leading scorer this season is Kanna Matsuhisa with six goals and one assist. She's notched a team-best 28 shots on the year, 16 of which have been on target. Y-Van Nguyen is the only other Ram with multiple goals this season, recording two to go along with one assist. Bilica Bulatovic, Greta Kraszula and Kendyl Sarver are responsible for one goal apiece, making up all of VCU's offense this year. Defensively, Allison Karpovich has been VCU's goalkeeper for much of the season, starting in 15 matches. She's notched 57 saves on the season and boasts a goals-allowed average of 1.41. Her save percentage sits at 74.0%.
SCOUTING THE HAWKS
Saint Joseph's enters the final week of the regular season with a 6-3-7 record and a 2-1-5 mark in the A-10. The Hawks haven't lost a match since Sept. 29, having won or tied in the team's last five matches. SJU is guided by Jess Mannella, who's in her 25th season with the program and is the only head coach to lead the program to the A-10 Championship tournament. On the field, Natalie Nevins leads the team with 11 points on the season. She has three goals and a team-best five assists on the year. The Hawks' leading goal scorer is Sarah Fisher; she has five scores on the season for 10 total points. Emily Hanrahan has four goals as well for Saint Joseph's. On defense, goalkeeper Katie Cappelletti has started all 17 matches this season, recording 83 saves on the year. She's posted a stellar 0.81 goals-allowed average in 2024 and a save percentage of 86.5%, which both lead the A-10.
