The Colonials’ record now sits at 2-6-1 and 1-2 in the Atlantic 10.

Hosting winless Fordham (0-11, 0-2 A-10), the Colonials had an excellent shot at their first A-10 win in two tries. They got the victory on the foot of sophomore Jason Holloway, who leads the team with six goals.

In the 17th minute, sophomore midfielder Michael Goldman picked up a loose ball on GW’s side of the field and dribbled up the field some 50 yards before finding Holloway at the top of Fordham’s box. Holloway struck for the 1-0 lead, giving Goldman his sixth assist of the season, keeping him in the assists lead in the South Atlantic region.

GW outshot Fordham 20-6 for the match and 10-2 in the second half.
