THE SHORT STORY
Lana Golob's header in the 71st minute cut the deficit to one, but VCU Women's Soccer was unable to find the equalizer, falling 2-1 to George Mason Sunday afternoon in Fairfax, Va.

QUICK FACTS
  • Golob's goal marks the first of her junior season

  • Sophomore Anna Bagley recorded a team-high four shot attempts
  • The Rams earned eight corners, including four during an 11-minute stretch in the second half
  • VCU outshot George Mason 12-6 with each team placing five attempts on goal
  • Rams' redshirt-junior goalkeeper Grace Young made three saves and allowed one goal in her first appearance of the season. Young replaced junior Brecht Haakma at the beginning of the second half
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Trailing 2-0, Kershner sent a corner kick into the center of the Patriots' box. Golob elevated above a crowd of defenders and headed the ball over the outstretched arms of George Mason's senior goalkeeper Louisa Moser
  • The Rams put considerable pressure on the Patriots' defense through the opening 20 minutes. VCU earned two corners in the 19th, but were unable to convert
  • In the 36th minute, George Mason sophomore Grace Hotaling settled a goal kick and back-heeled the ball to senior Kayla Hamric who found Haakma out of position and launched a shot from well outside the box that found the back of the net
  • Fourteen minutes into the second half, Patriots' senior Shannon Lee sent a free-kick to the front of the Rams' goal. The ball found pinballed around and was knocked across the line on a clear attempt by VCU defender Amber DiOrio
  • Bagley dribbled around defenders in the 81st minute and fired a shot that was deflected wide by Moser's left foot
  • VCU had a flurry of chances in the closing minutes, but were unable to tie the score
