The Short Story: VCU freshman Ethan Manheim broke through with the first goal of his career while the Rams dominated possession, and earned three points in overtime to keep their post-season hopes alive against George Washington on Wednesday night. 
 
 
QUICK FACTS: 
 

• Manheim scored the first goal of his career while providing five shots for the Rams
• The freshman pair of William Hitchcock and Jonathan Kanagwa pitched in two shots a piece 
• As a team, the Rams outshot the Colonials 13-3 while placing seven shots on frame
• VCU earned 6 corner kicks while not allowing any to George Washington 

 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED: 
 

• Against the run of play in the 11^th minute, the Colonials broke down the Rams back line when Sandro Weber played a ball square in front of goal to Oscar Haynes Brown who slotted it home.  
• Ten minutes later Manheim headed in the first goal of his career off of an in-swinging corner kick from Toranosuke Abe to level the score. 
• In the second half the Rams outshot the Colonials 7-1 while enjoying the majority of possession but were unable to find a winning goal. 
• Just 52 seconds in to the overtime period Abe kept a ball in play with a sliding effort on the touchline and played a diagonal ball in to the box where it eventually found the head of Hitchcock. 
• After deflecting off of George Washington's Grant Barrientos, the ball trickled in to the goal giving the Rams a 2-1 victory. 

 
 
NOTABLE: 
 

• The Rams now sit just one point behind George Washington and Davidson in the Atlantic 10 Central standings with one match to play
• In order to qualify for the Atlantic 10 Tournament, VCU must win their final game of the season at George Mason, while relying on a draw between Davidson and George Washington.
