Women's soccer defeats George Mason
The Virginia women's soccer team took out George Mason, 1-0, in Fairfax on Sunday. With the road victory, the Cavaliers have won three consecutive games and move to 7-2-1 overall this season.
The only goal of the game came courtesy of senior co-captain Laura Gaworecki. In the 35th minute of the game, Gaworecki corralled her own missed shot and knocked it in to put Virginia on top, 1-0. Gaworecki's second goal of the season proved to be all Virginia needed for the victory over the Patriots. The win marks the Cavaliers sixth non-conference victory of the season.
Virginia dominated the game and out-shot the Patriots, 11-4. They also held a 3-1 advantage in corner kicks. The Cavalier defense limited the Patriots to just one shot on goal, which was saved by Virginia goalkeeper Anne Abernethy.
Virginia will return to action Wednesday evening as it takes on Maryland at Klockner. Virginia is currently 1-1 in conference competition.
