Full Schedule

WASHINGTON – Grad student Lauren Prentice's 78^th-minute goal was all the Buff & Blue needed as the George Washington women's soccer team defeated St. Bonaventure, 1-0, in the first match of Atlantic 10 play. The GW Revs move to 3-4-2 overall, while the Bonnies drop to 1-7-1 in 2024.

HOW IT HAPPENED

78^th Minute: After senior Amelia Booth crossed the ball in from the corner, sophomore Kate McGrath deflected the ball past one Bonnies defender and off the chest of another. Prentice perfectly received the carom, slotting it past the keeper and into the upper right corner of the goal. The score was Prentice's second of the year, while Booth and McGrath both picked up an assist on the play.

NOTEWORTHY

Goalkeeper Ainsley Lumpe played all 90 minutes for GW, tallying four saves in her first clean sheet of the 2024 season. St. Bonaventure's Chiara Gottinger also played the entire 90 in net, recording two saves.
Prentice was the lone Revolutionary to tally more than one shot on goal, finishing with two. The Buff & Blue's remaining chances came from Alicia Window and McGrath. GW tallied 11 shots on the day with four on target.
St. Bonaventure finished the afternoon with eight total shots, putting four on frame as well.
The Revolutionaries finished with six corner kicks on the day, all while not allowing one for St. Bonaventure.
GW was whistled for 19 fouls compared to six for the Bonnies. St. Bonaventure's Lauren Westwood was issued a yellow card in the match, while Caitlin Cunningham, Prentice and Abby Mansoor each received one for GW.
The win marks GW's seventh-straight victory over St. Bonaventure dating back to 2013, and is the first A-10 opening win for the program since the 2021 spring season.
