Mia Casciani’s first-half goal and four saves from Libby Davy gave George Mason a 1–0 women’s soccer win over Duquesne on Sunday, October 11, at George Mason Stadium.

Casciani scored at 25:50, with Amy Angel and Keira Jeffries credited with assists in Duquesne’s official box score. The Patriots took that lead into halftime and kept the Dukes scoreless through the second half.

Duquesne generated considerably more attempts, finishing with a 17–5 advantage in shots and a 4–2 edge in shots on goal. Davy stopped all four attempts on target over 90 minutes. The Dukes also had six corner kicks to Mason’s three, but none produced an equalizer.

Davy’s work started immediately. She saved shots from Kaitlyn Killinger at 0:50 and 0:56, then denied Molly Kinsella at 21:43 before Mason found its goal. Those three first-half saves helped the Patriots reach the break ahead despite being outshot 8–3.

The shot count tilted further toward Duquesne after halftime, 9–2, but Mason protected its one-goal margin. Ali Hughes made one save for the Dukes, stopping Kylie Beauregard’s attempt at 74:55. Duquesne’s last recorded shot came from Reagan Basehore at 89:46, followed by a corner at 89:51 before the match ended.
