Box Score 2 WASHINGTON, DC --- After a combined four road games for the Howard men's and women's soccer teams, the Bison and Lady Bison returned to Greene Stadium Friday to host a pair of non-conference opponents.
HOWARD MEN 1, SAINT FRANCIS (PA) 2
The Bison men dropped a 2-1 decision to the Red Flash on Friday afternoon, moving their overall record to 0-8 on the season. SFPA improves to 6-1-1 on the year.
Junior goalkeeper
Eric Hamilton stopped four shots on the day, but the team was outshot overall, 19-11.
Junior
Rahman Alarape scored his second goal of the season in the final minute of regulation - the first player this season to notch multiple goals.
Howard will have another shot for the season's first win on Sunday, September 29 when the Bison welcome Saint Joseph's University to Greene Stadium.
HOWARD WOMEN 1, GEORGE WASHINGTON 3
In the nightcap, the Lady Bison fought against the crosstown Colonials but eventually fell, 3-1. Howard's record moves to 2-5-1 while GW improves to 3-2-3.
After allowing a goal in the 31st minute, Howard would even the game at 1-1 in the 38th with a penalty kick goal from junior
Treschelle Gibson-Serrette. Gibson pushed her way to the top of the box and looked to put a shot on goal when she was fouled by a GW defender. On the penalty kick, Gibson-Serrette blasted a shot past GW goalkeeper Nicole Ulrick into the lower right corner of the goal. Like her male counterpart, Gibson-Serrette's goal makes her the first player to have multiple goals during the campaign
Both teams would go scoreless until the 66th minute, when a falled clearance led to the eventual game-winner goal for the Colonials. GW would add an insurance goal nearly 20 minutes later as a stalled Howard corner kick turned into a leak out fast break and a 15-yard, right side score.
