Georgetown scores resounding win against George Washington
Published March 1, 2021
The Georgetown women’s soccer team (2-0-0, 0-0-0 Big East) was dominant in their 4-0 win against George Washington University (0-0-1, 0-0-0 Atlantic 10) on Sunday despite wet conditions. The Hoyas kept the pressure on the entire match, taking a total of 16 shots, 8 of which were on goal. Two of Georgetown’s goals came courtesy of sophomore forward Gia Vicari, who scored in the 10th and 52nd minutes.
Georgetown graduate midfielder Daisy Cleverley led the offense with the first shot on goal in the 8th minute, saved by redshirt sophomore keeper Tamaki Machi. The first goal came just two minutes later from Vicari off an assist from senior forward Jenna Menta, putting Georgetown up 1-0. Menta again assisted in the 22nd minute to senior midfielder Grace Nguyen who scored with a low shot to the right—her second of the season after last week’s opener against George Mason. The Hoyas made use of strong, accurate passes and were not afraid to challenge the Colonials’ possessions. On the other end of the field, their defense contained most offensive runs and largely kept senior keeper Alyssa Navarrete out of the action.
