No. 13 Georgetown Downs Marquette

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's soccer team downed Marquette 3-0 on Saturday night at Valley Fields. With the win, GU improves to 12-2-2 overall and 8-0 in BIG EAST play, while Marquette falls to 6-5-4 and 2-2-3 in league action.

 Head Coach Dave Nolan
" This was another very good performance by the girls tonight. Playing out here is never easy, and I thought the team was excellent in the first half in particular. We pressed them straight off the opening whistle and had them penned in, which resulted in a great goal by Natalie Means to put us one up early. That pressure led to a PK call, which Natalie tucked away for her 2nd of the night, and right before the halftime whistle, Shay Montgomery finished well to give us a 3-0 lead, and probably killed off the game.

The 2nd half was very disjointed, they started to get a little reckless, and we didn't do the things which served us so well in the 1st half. However, we had some really strong performances; Henley Tippings was excellent, and Shay Montgomery and Lizzie Heller dominated the middle of the field. At the back, Kaya Hansen, Izzy Boodell, and Lily Froelich stepped up to help Cara Martin earn another shutout.

With two games to go, v. Villanova this Wednesday, and 10 days later, a big game out in Cincinnati v. Xavier, we may end up being in for a Championship."
