About the Hoyas

• Georgetown is 7-0 to start the 2021 season and is coming off of a solid 3-0 victory against Dartmouth last Saturday to conclude nonconference play.
• The Hoyas got on the board early as sophomore Chris Hegardt hit a restart to the back post finding the head of junior Daniel Wu. The defender sent it across and classmate Dante Polvara got a foot on it to send it in and make it 1-0 in the 10th minute.
• Just two minutes later, Wu got it started again as he sent a long ball into the path of a sprinting Zach Riviere who took a touch and shot it past Big Green keeper Alex Budnik to make it 2-0.
• The third goal of a match came off of an impressive combination as senior Zach Riviere tapped it to junior Will Sands on the left side. He served it in to the back post and senior captain Sean Zawadzki got an outstretched foot on it to make it 3-0 in the 62nd minute.
• For his efforts, Wu was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after notching two assists.
• Zawadzki was named one of just 30 NCAA Division I men's soccer candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, recognizing student-athletes who excel both on and off the field. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be athletically classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2021 NCAA Men's and Women's College Cup® championships in December. The Hoyas had a winner last season as Jacob Montes earned Second Team Senior CLASS All-America honors.
