No. 16/20 Georgetown Ties Pepperdine

WASHINGTON – The No. 16/20 Hoyas tied Pepperdine on Thursday evening 1-1 in Malibu. With the tie, Georgetown opens the regular season at 0-0-1.
 
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"This was certainly a tough challenge out of the gate for us and it says something about this team's makeup that a draw on the road felt like a loss. We never really got going in the first half but credit to Pepperdine, they are extremely well coached, and their team is well organized. 
 
I was much happier with our second half and felt we really put them under some good pressure. Natalie scored a great goal to put us up by one and at that point I thought a second goal was coming. We had a few good looks but credit to Pepperdine they changed their system, threw caution to the wind and did a good job on the set piece equalizer. No time to feel sorry for ourselves as LMU is up next on Sunday."
 
 
About the Match
  • Both teams had chances early on, but neither looked particularly dangerous as the squads settled into the match.
  • In the 33rd minute, Allie Augur made an incredible save on a point-blank opportunity for Pepperdine keeping the score locked at 0-0.
  • The score remained even heading into the break behind Augur's two saves.
  • In the 66th minute, Natalie Means got the ball just across the midfield line and blew by her defender on the right side before blistering a shot from inside the box right under the crossbar for the Hoyas first goal of the contest. The unassisted effort was Means' first goal of the season and the second of her Hoya career.
  • GU continued to generate opportunities after Means' goal but was unable to find the back of the net for a second time.
  • In the 86th minute, Pepperdine was able to find the back of the net on a backdoor header from Tatum Wynalda.
  • Neither team was able to find that second goal and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
