Soccer: Liberty falls at George Washington, 3-2

AFP

LibertyA second-half surge of offense propelled George Washington to a 3-2 victory over Liberty on Thursday.

The game was tied going into halftime after Kasey Jamieson knotted the game at 1-1 in the 24th minute for her first career goal. George Washington came out in the second half and applied heavy pressure on Liberty’s backline as they scored two goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Jamieson would score her second goal against the Colonials late in the second half but the comeback came up short as GW pulled out the victory.

“We had our chances today and we just did not capitalize,” Liberty coach Lang Wedemeyer said. “Credit to George Washington for coming with more hunger in the second half. We have to find a way to regroup for a very difficult match on Sunday.”

Liberty falls to 1-3-1 this season while George Washington improves to 2-1-0.
