The Dayton women’s soccer team is still undefeated in the Atlantic 10 Conference after defeating George Mason, 3-0, on Friday night.

This was the Patriots’ (4-7-1, 1-1 A-10) first ever A-10 contest.

The Flyers (7-4-1, 2-0 A-10) now have six shutouts this season, including four in a row this season.

A strong Dayton defense, led by goalie Elizabeth James, kept George Mason out of its end of the field for most of the game.

Stephanie Emery scored her fifth goal of the season in the 11th minute from 18 yards out. Another goal, this one from Megan Herr, in the 22nd minute made it 2-0 at the half.

The Flyers scored another goal in the 87th minute off the foot of Juliana Libertin.

Close game between Explorers and Rams

La Salle defeated Fordham, 1-0, on Friday night in what was an even game until a single goal in the 105th minute.

The Explorers’ (9-2-1, 1-0 A-10) Renee Washington scored the game-winner in double overtime and now has six goals on the season.

La Salle dominated play from the start. The Rams’ (6-4-1, 1-0 A-10) defense struggled against the Explorers’ attackers, and La Salle had the first four shots on net, three of which came from Washington.

Much of the play in the second half was around midfield, neither team allowing the attackers to get far.

In the second session of extra time Maryam Huseini got a cross in the box to Washington. She then knocked the ball in from 10 yards out inside the far post.

Saint Louis holds off aggressive Richmond

Richmond was defeated by Saint Louis, 1-0, on Friday.

Although the Spiders (3-7-2, 0-2 A-10) outshot the Billikens (3-9-1, 2-1 A-10), 21-5, they did not capitalize on their opportunities.

Saint Louis’ Kirsten Clemens scored her first collegiate goal, and the only goal of the match, seven minutes into the game.

Clemens’ unassisted goal was shot from 25 yards out and got past Richmond’s goalkeeper Emily Kelly.

After the goal, the Billikens seemed to lose their steam, as the Spiders held possession for most of the rest of the first half.

Several shots on net from Richmond in the last two minutes could not get past the Saint Louis defense.
