The Hoyas entered their season‑opening match at Shaw Field with a clear intent to assert control, and they did just that against the Rams.
A penalty kick by Lizzie Heller in the 49th minute broke the deadlock, giving Georgetown an early lead that they built upon with two further goals from Abigail Droner in the 59th and 79th minutes, the latter set up by Caroline Spengler.
Fordham managed only two shots on goal in the first half and spent much of the game under pressure, but they showed resilience by finally finding the net in the 81st minute when Baylee Canet scored her inaugural collegiate goal.
Goalkeeper Addison Green made five saves for the Rams, keeping the score within reach despite the early deficit.
The 4‑1 final scoreline underscores Georgetown's dominance in the series, improving their all‑time record to 1‑0 while highlighting Fordham's ability to respond late in the contest.
Looking Ahead
Fordham's next test will be a road contest against Maryland, a team that will challenge the Rams' defensive adjustments after a promising debut goal.
