In a tough win at Maryland Oct. 5, GW’s Matt Pavone scored the winning goal with a shot off of a rebound by Maryland’s keeper with five minutes left.
GW goalie Jonathan Levine made a decisive save toward the end of the first half, when both teams missed good opportunities to score.

Five minutes later, Maryland scored a tying goal with a ball played over GW goalie Hugh MacTruong.
