How it Happened
A run of three unanswered goals in the second half lifted George Mason over Rhode Island, 4-2, Wednesday night.

The teams each converted a penalty kick in the opening half, with Souley Diouf netting one for George Mason in the 11th minute, and Brandon Bermingham converted one for the Rams in the 30th minute.
