WASHINGTON, D.C. - A goal in the final 10 minutes against No. 10 Georgetown put the Musketeers within striking distance late, but Xavier women's soccer couldn't find the equalizer, falling 2-1, on Thursday afternoon. Xavier moves to 9-3-2 on the season and 2-2 in BIG EAST play.

A pair of first half penalty kicks gave the Hoyas a 2-0 lead at the break, an advantage that held until the 86th minute when Samantha Dewey scored her 12th of the season from Hayley Jakovich to cut the lead back to 2-1.

Xavier out-shot the Hoyas 10-4, a season-low on shots for GU, marking the first time since playing No. 1 Virginia on Sept. 5 that Georgetown was out-shot by their opponent. It's only the third time this season that the Hoyas haven't held the advantage on shots, the other coming against then No. 10 Duke.

SCORING RECAP

25' | GEORGETOWN | Following a Xavier foul deep in the box to the left side of the goal, GU's Carson Nizialek made a penalty kick to put the Hoyas up 1-0.

41' | GEORGETOWN | After a Xavier foul at the top of the 18-yard box, Nizialek again made a penalty kick to push the GU lead to 2-0.

86' | XAVIER | From around midfield, Hayley Jakovich served the ball into the box to Samantha Dewey, hitting a GU defender. GU's goalkeeper came out to collect it and Dewey flipped the ball over the keeper into the right corner of the net.

NOTABLE

Samantha Dewey added to her league-high totals in goals and points, now with Xavier career-best marks of 12 goals and 27 points.
Hayley Jakovich picked up an assist on Dewey's goal, her second assist and fourth point of the season.
Xavier held a 10-4 advantage on shots, including a 5-1 advantage in the second half. Xavie also held a 6-2 advantage on corners.
Xavier's goal in the 86th minute ended a streak of over 530 minutes without a goal allowed for the Hoya defense, extending over five complete matches to Georgetown's 4-3 OT win over Princeton on Sept. 12. It was also the first goal allowed by GU in BIG EAST play this season.
Olivia Jenkins made the start in-frame, collecting two saves with two goals against, both penalty kicks, and moving to 4-2-1 on the season.
Grace Bahr and Hayley Jakovich played the full time for Xavier's defense, helping hold the Hoyas to a season-low four shots in only the third outing in which GU has been out-shot. The other two came against Top-10 Duke and Virginia, also marking GU's only losses on the season.

The Musketeers return home next weekend to host Providence on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 1:00 p.m.
