WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The George Washington women’s soccer team led William & Mary, 1-0, midway through the second half, but due to lightning in the Williamsburg, Va., area the game was cancelled after not reaching the 70^th minute of play.

The game was suspended at the 65:25 mark when lightning struck and the squads retreated to the locker rooms to wait for the storm to pass, but after several delays and an eventual10:02 p.m. restart the refs called the match. NCAA rules state that a contest may not restart more than three hours after the original start time, and games that do not reach the 70^th minute of action are declared “no contest”.

No makeup game has been announced.

GW (2-2-1) held a 1-0 lead over William & Mary (2-1-2) after freshman Lina Proska netted a goal less than 10 minutes into the second frame. Sophomore Kyla Ridley had a breakaway and sent a pass from the top of the box to the left side where Proska finished with a shot to the lower right corner.
