George Mason opened the scoring but couldn’t keep pace with La Salle, falling 5-1 at home. Molly Starner scored the Patriots’ lone goal, while La Salle built a 3-1 halftime lead and added two more after the break despite Mason’s shot advantage.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: La Salle 5, George Mason 1.
  • Shots: George Mason 20, La Salle 14; shots on goal: Mason 9.
  • Molly Starner had 3 shots; Mia Casciani led Mason with a season-high 6.
Yes, But

Mason generated more shots and plenty of second-half pressure, including attempts that struck the woodwork, but La Salle converted its chances and goalkeeper Samantha Widnick made late saves to protect the lead.

What's Next

The Patriots travel to Davidson, North Carolina, to face Davidson on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 1:30 p.m. in their regular-season finale.

Bottom Line

Mason’s attacking volume wasn’t enough to overcome a costly first-half run and La Salle’s clinical finishing.
