8/18/2024 4:18:00 PM | Women's Soccer
WASHINGTON – Despite a ferocious second half rally, the George Washington women's soccer team fell in the second match of the 2024 season to Binghamton, 3-2. The Revolutionaries fell into a 3-0 hole early in the second half but managed to tally two goals in the final 35 minutes of action to nearly complete the comeback.

- 48th Minute: Just out of the halftime break, Buckwalter registered her second goal of the day to extend the Bearcat lead to 3-0. Buckwalter's second goal was unassisted.
- 55th Minute: GW trimmed the deficit to 3-1 in the 55th minute courtesy of a goal from graduate forward Lauren Prentice. Prentice rebounded her own deflected shot and punched the ball in just past the right post for her first score of the season.
- 77th Minute: Sophomore Rose Vigran notched her first career goal later in the second half, taking a cross from first-year Alex Caldwell and burying it into the net. The goal cut Binghamton's deficit down to 3-2, but that would be as close as GW would get.
