How it Happened

• It was a pitchers duel in the early going, with both sides posting 1-2-3 innings to open the contest in the first inning.
• In the second inning, both teams would threaten but neither would capitalize. Rebhan would reach with an infield hit and get to third via a wild pitch and a stolen base, but would be stranded.
• In the bottom of the second, GW would put runners on first and second with two outs, but Dunn would escape trouble with help from Hollie Pardini who made a terrific catch on a pop up behind the plate.
• The Hoyas would continue to flash the leather to help prevent runs from scoring. With two on and two out in the top of the third, Claire Turner made a diving grab on a ball hit to shallow center to prevent a run from scoring and keeping the game tied at 0-0.
• With Sage Hager pitching in the top of the fourth with the score still at 0-0, Turner made another run saving catch, running a long distance to her left to track down a ball in the right centerfield gap to keep the game tied.
• The scoreless tie would be broken in the bottom half of the fifth inning, where George Washington would tally two runs off of a hit and three walks to take a 2-0 lead heading into the sixth.
• Despite having runners in scoring position in both the sixth and seventh innings, the Hoyas were unable to plate either run and fell to the Revolutionaries, 2-0.
