After the Scarlet Knights took three shots on Georgetown goalkeeper Abby Winer following a penalty corner, sophomore Katie Morad (Marlton, NJ) gathered a rebound and left the ball for Adams, who poked it past Winerr. For Morad, who medically redshirted last season, it was her first career point.

Freshman goalkeeper Kristen Van Rooij (Ben Bosh, The Netherlands) made her collegiate debut and did not make a save.
The Scarket Knights had several good scoring chances in botrh halves, including
a penalty corner by
Morad that hit the top of the crossbar. Preseason All-BIG EAST selection Mary
Szymonowicz
(Piscataway, NJ) had a team-high seven shots. In all, RU outshot Georgetown
21-4 and held a 7-1
