Furious Comeback Leads Women's Soccer Past George Washington, 2-1

PHILADELPHIA - Sophomore Haley Gschrey capped off a thrilling comeback for the La Salle women's soccer team, scoring the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute as the Explorers found the back of the net twice in the final 13 minutes to defeat George Washington, 2-1.

The win knocked GW (3-1-5) from the ranks of the unbeaten, and improved La Salle to 6-4-0 overall and 1-2 in Atlantic 10 play.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Neither team could get much going offensively in the first half, with the two teams combining for nine shots and two corner kicks.
  • The second half began with the Colonials finding the scoring touch less than a minute into the period, as Cammie Dopke converted to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
  • The pace picked up and both teams unlocked some chances throughout the final 45 minutes.
  • Kelly Poole had a chance in the 72nd minute to give GW a two-goal lead, but Michela Auguadro made a stop to keep the margin at one.
  • A fortuitous deflection led to the equalizer, as Gschrey flicked a ball toward the middle of the box in the 78th minute. A GW defender redirected the ball into the lower-right corner of goal to tie the score at 1-1.
  • Less than five minutes later, Gschrey was at the center of the go-ahead tally as she was in perfect position to convert a deep throw in from sophomore defender Lauren Costello.
  • From there, the Explorers held possession for much of the final seven minutes thanks in large part to freshman Ricshya Walker and her work in the offensive third.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • GW held a 16-13 edge in shots, including a 10-7 margin in shots on goal.
  • Auguadro finished with nine saves for the Explorers, while her counterpart Grace Crowe had six for the Colonials.
  • Kelli McGroarty had a team-high four shots, including one right after the equalizer that was saved by Crowe from close range.
  • Senior Emily Banashefski had three shots, all on goal, and had the first opportunity of the game that was pushed aside by Crowe.
UP NEXT
  • The Explorers return to the road to face VCU (3-1-7) on Sunday, Sept. 25. Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m.
