Winning Streak Falls in Double Overtime at George Mason
9/12/2021 9:47:00 PM | Women's Soccer
FAIRFAX, VA. – The Radford women's soccer team fell in double overtime to George Mason on Sunday night ending a six-game winning streak of Radford. The six straight wins to open a season were the most by the Highlanders since the 2017 season.
The first half belonged to the Highlanders as the defense stood strong for the whole 45 minutes and notched their ninth-straight scoreless half. Helena Willson gave the Highlanders a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute, and it was assisted by Lily McLane who extended her streak of games with an assist to six.
The Radford defense would hold until the 77th minute in the second half where George Mason broke through and ended the scoreless streak at 460 minutes. The score would remain all tied up at one at the end of regulation and through the first overtime period. George Mason broke the tie with just under four minutes remaining in the second overtime period, sealing their win and snapping Radford's streak.
Despite the final result, Radford goalie Lauren Seedlock had a career night. She finished with 12 saves which is the most saves recorded by a Highlander in a match since Katie McCormick recorded 12 saves against Charleston Southern in 2015.
KEY STATS
"It was a tough loss tonight. I thought the team left it in the field from an effort standpoint. They worked extremely hard and almost pulled out another win on the road. George Mason is a good team and I think this game will help us moving forward. I appreciate the huge fan support we had tonight on the road from fans, parents and alumni." – Head Coach Ben Sohrabi
UP NEXT
The Highlanders will look to get back on track next week as they host VMI on Sept. 16 for the final match of the nonconference slate.
