FARMVILLE, VA - The George Washington men's soccer team sustained its first loss of the season on Friday,Sept. 7, falling 2-1 against Winthrop in the first game of the Lancer Invitational, hosted by Longwood University. The Colonials played even with the Eagles despite being a man down for more than 75 minutes, but an even-strength goal in the 12th minute proved to be the difference.
Sophomore forward Andy Stadler scored his second goal of the season in the 40th minute to bring GW (2-1) within one goal at 2-1, but the Colonials could manage only three second-half shots while playing with 10 men. Senior Abimbola Pedro recorded his second assist of the season on the play.
Daniel Revivo's one-time shot in the 18-yard box in the 12th minute spotted Winthrop (2-1) a 1-0 edge. GW freshman defender Kory Trott was sent off with a red card just over two minutes later, forcing the Colonials to play a man-down. The Eagles took advantage in the 33rd minute when Saidi Isaac, the Big South preseason Player of the Year, scored the game-winning goal on an assist from Miguel Casajuana.
Senior goalkeeper Greg Yahr kept GW in the match by stopping a career-high 10 shots. The Colonials were outshot, 19-10, and out-cornered, 12-5. Winthrop net-minder Patrick Mitrovich made one save.
The match featured two teams either ranked or receiving votes in their respective regions. The Colonials entered the contest ranked third in the adidas/NSCAA Middle Atlantic regional, while the Eagles, preseason favorites in the Big South and 2006 NCAA Tournament participants, have votes in the South Atlantic regional.
FARMVILLE, VA- For the second straight game, Saidi Isaac provided the game-winning goal as he helped lead Winthrop to a 1-0 victory over Longwood University in the final game of the Lancer Invitational Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9.
In the 23rd minute, Stephen Nsereko played a through ball over the top of the defense to Isaac, who was running on to the ball.
