Box Score WASHINGTON – The No. 20/20 Hoyas defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. A 49th minute goal by Maja Lardner would be the game winner as Georgetown notched its second-consecutive shutout and win at home.
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"That was one of those games we will look back at near the end of the season and say it was a very important game for us. We played against a very good opponent in Virginia Tech, who will finish near the top of the ACC this season. Hopefully it ends up being a great NCAA Tournament resume win for us. I thought the girls were fantastic today, that is the first goal Virginia Tech has given up this season in four games after scoring three goals in two of their three games so for us to shut them out means we did a good job on the defensive side as well. I am really proud of the effort and the kids did really well executing our game plan. The kids who came off the bench did really well and gave us what we needed which was fantastic and we are happy to take the win."
