Lia Godfrey delivered her third goal of the season off a free kick, but a late score saw #13 UVA Soccer play #16 Georgetown (2-0-2) to a 1-1 draw at Klöckner Stadium on Sunday.
The free kick from Godfrey came in the 22nd minute, put the ‘Hoos (4-0-1) on the board first. A foul 25 yards out set up the opportunity for the Cavaliers. Godfrey lined up the shot and drove it into the upper left corner for the 1-0 Virginia lead.
Georgetown (2-0-2) equalized in the 70th minute off the foot of Maja Lardner. A Virginia throw in in the defensive third was recovered by the Hoyas and the visiting team turned on the attack. Natalie Means played the ball to Shay Montgomery near the penalty arc for a redirect to Ladner near the penalty spot. The ball bounced around off Ladner as she turned on the attack, but settled at her feet for a shot that she sent in across goal to the right post.
The goal ended Victoria Safradin’s shutout streak at 623:54, which is the fifth-longest shutout streak in UVA history.
Virginia continues to play at home on Thursday with a matchup against #9 Penn State. Kick is set for 6 p.m., and it will be an Orange Out Game at Klöckner Stadium, with fans encouraged to wear orange.
