WASHINGTON – The No. 23/12 Georgetown women's soccer team took down the Blue Demons 1-0 on Sunday afternoon in Chicago, Illinois. The Hoyas are now 8-1-3 overall and 4-0 in the BIG EAST as DePaul is now 0-3 in conference and 2-8 overall.

Head Coach Dave Nolan

"This was another strong performance by the girls today. Coming off a road game on Thursday at UConn against a team who had a bye meant today was always going to be hard. Credit to DePaul, their coach had them organized to frustrate us and we found it difficult to break them down. However, we asked the girls to keep doing the right thing and we responded with a corner kick goal just like we practice. What a goal by Julia Leas off a great delivery from Maya Fernandez-Powell close to the end for us to take three valuable points. This sets us up for a huge game on Thursday against a great Xavier team on Shaw Field."
