Box Score WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's soccer team dropped its Sunday contest at DePaul 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. With the setback, GU slides to 8-2-4 and 4-1-1 in BIG EAST play while DePaul improves to 3-5-5 and 1-1-3 in conference action.
 
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"Soccer can be a cruel game at times and today was one of those times. This is always a tough place to play and the wind picking up it made things next to impossible to play good soccer. 
 
To be fair, we created enough chances and numerous half chances but couldn't put one away. Sadly, the one mistake we made, we got punished for and though we had plenty of time and numerous opportunities after I have to give credit to DePaul. Their kids battled for 90 minutes and defended like their lives depended on it.
 
I cannot fault my team's commitment or desire to try to rescue something, today just wasn't our day. We have to regroup and now get ready for a trip to Providence on Thursday."
