No. 17/13 Hoyas Beat Columbia 2-0

WASHINGTON – The No.17/13 Georgetown women's soccer team beat Columbia 2-0 on Sunday afternoon at Shaw Field. The Hoyas are now 2-1-2 moving into the fourth week of competition and the Lions fall to 1-1-1.
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"Today was a hot one for both teams and the weather certainly stopped the high tempo in the game, which is what we wanted. Both teams probed for advantages early on and while we were never comfortable on the scoreboard we were always in control with the exception of a few counter attacks by them. 
 
It looked like we were going into the break scoreless but with her first touch of the ball, in her first game in nearly a year we had to thank Boo Jackson for bravely getting on the end of a cross for the lead. It certainly gave the team a lift and it was great to see Boo back on the field after some tough injuries.
 
The second half was more of the same until Maja Lardner made a sheer hustle play to grab us a second goal and help us breathe easier. Credit to Columbia, they pushed us hard and will be a tough team to beat in their conference. Thankfully, we now get a bit of a break until we face William & Mary next Sunday."
 
About the Match
  • The Hoyas had 13 shots in the match with five of them being on frame and giving the Lions' goalkeeper a test.
  • Georgetown and Columbia shared possession through the first 30 minutes of play. 
  • With a Blue & Gray substitution in the 34th minute, Boo Jackson made her 2022 debut after she had to sit out the end of the 2021 season due to an injury. In the same minute, the graduate student found herself on the end of a cross from Eliza Turner in the Lions' box and finished it to put the Hoyas up 1-0.
  • Columbia's forwards tested goalkeeper Cara Martin from a number of overstruck crosses that made the freshman challenge for balls in the six-yard box.
  • Georgetown made a sub in the middle of the second half that saw Natalie Means re-enter the game along with sophomore Maja Lardner.
  • Lardner capitalized on an uncleared ball by the CU keeper and won a three-versus-one situation to double the Hoyas' lead (2-0).
  • Georgetown held onto the 2-0 lead and closed out the match with a win.
