The Short Story: The Rams pressed hard and created multiple quality chances on goal but the effort was not enough as VCU fell to George Washington by a score of 1-0 on Saturday afternoon. 
 
 
QUICK FACTS: 
 

• Sophomore forward Ethan Manheim led the Rams with three total shots, each of which he put on target
• Mario Sequeira recorded a season-high four saves in the match
• The Rams managed nine total shots in the match compared to George Washington's 11
• VCU took five corner kicks compared to George Washington's two

 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED: 
 

• The Rams started on the front foot when after just 30 seconds of play William Hitchcock placed a header just over the bar; Toranosuke Abe and Manheim also managed shots early on in the first period. 
• In the 32^nd minute, George Washington's Tobias Williams played a ball to Oscar Haynes-Brown who broke the deadlock and provided what would prove to be the winning goal. 
• In the final minute of play Maverick McGann ringed a shot off the crossbar just 11 seconds before Manheim's final effort was saved by the George Washington goalkeeper. 

 
 
HEAD COACH DAVID GIFFARD: 
 
It was our best performance of the year by a mile. We created several high percentage chances. We were much more purposeful in the attack for large stretches of the game, but we made some mistakes that could have been chances for them that we need to clean up. It's always tough to come here historically because they do a good job of turning us over in the build-up on their field and making the game tough for us. Today was no different the only difference was we gave away a goal and didn't take any of the easy chances that we created. That's soccer sometimes and we will turn around and see the same George Washington team in a few days at our place with a chance to hopefully take another step forward as a group.
