No. 23/12 Georgetown Takes Down UConn on the Road

Box Score WASHINGTON – The No. 23/12 Georgetown women's soccer topped UConn 1-0 on Thursday evening in Storrs, Connecticut. The match was the third contest of BIG EAST play for both teams. The Hoyas sit at 7-1-3 overall and 3-0 in conference as the Huskies move to 1-2 in conference play, 5-4-1 overall. 
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"I thought this was another good performance by the girls on the road against a dangerous team," said Nolan. "In the first half we kept them quiet and managed a great goal by Claire Manning, we possibly could have had another. However, in the second half, both teams really went for it and while we could have had a few more, I have to give our defenders credit, they were excellent and Allie Augur turned in a great performance in goal. We now head to Chicago to play a rested DePaul on Sunday in another tough road battle."
 
About the Match
  • Georgetown's effort paid off early in the first half with a well-timed goal by sophomore Claire Manning which marked her first goal of the 2022 season. 
  • The Huskies did not let down and continued to test the Blue & Gray as they tallied three shots in the first half, forcing goalkeeper Allie Augur to make a save on the goal line, deflecting it for a throw in.
  • Moving into the second half, the Hoyas posted eight shots with six on frame to keep Adyson Duran busy in the net for UConn.
  • GU earned seven corners to UConn's three while Georgetown also earned two yellow cards during the match. 
  • Georgetown's back line was continuously tested, but allowed only three shots in the second half. 
  • This is the second shutout for Augur in BIG EAST play as she and fellow keeper Cara Martin have been splitting time for the Hoyas this season.
 
What Lies Ahead
  • Georgetown travels to Chicago, Illinois to play DePaul on Sunday, Oct. 2 with kickoff set for 2 p.m. ET.
