JMU women fall to Georgetown

September 11, 2010
HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 10, 2010 - The nationally-ranked Georgetown women's soccer team remained unbeaten (7-0-0) with a 1-0 victory at James Madison (3-2-0) Friday night at the JMU Soccer Complex.

A first-half goal by junior Samantha Baker (Long Beach, Calif./Wilson) gave the Hoyas the victory.  Baker's corner kick sailed into the far corner of the goal from the right side of the field with 9:07 left in the half.

Georgetown entered the game ranked 18th in the NSCAA coaches poll and 25th by Soccer America.

Hoyas' senior goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin (Sunnyvale, Calif./Archbishop Mitty) needed to make only one save to post her fourth shutout of the season.  Georgetown held a 12-8 advantage on shots.  JMU redshirt senior goalkeeper Diane Wszalek (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) finished with three saves.

"We ran into a very good Georgetown team tonight.  They really took control of the game in the first half," head coach Dave Lombardo said.  "We played and competed a lot harder in the second half.  We didn't really create a lot of good offensive scoring chances, but I thought we had a couple of opportunities to tie it up and missed them.  They deserved to win; they were the better of the two teams tonight."
