How it Happened
Rhode Island opened postseason play with a 3-1 victory over No. 4 George Mason in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals on Saturday night in Fairfax, Va.

After a scoreless opening 30 minutes, the Rams erupted for three unanswered goals between the 32nd and 56th minutes to build a commanding 3-0 lead.

Lauren MacDonald opened the scoring for Rhode Island in the 32nd minute, finding the back of the net off an assist from Nicolasa Jacobs. MacDonald's goal gave the Rams a 1-0 advantage heading into halftime.

Rhode Island wasted little time extending its lead in the second half, scoring twice in a three-minute span. Courtney Poon played a role in both goals, first assisting on Lily Camacho's 54th-minute tally before finding the back of the net herself in the 56th minute to push the Rams ahead, 3-0.

George Mason got on the board in the 60th minute when Gianna Chrapek slipped a shot past Rhode Island goalkeeper Addisen Nicholson, cutting the Rams' lead to 3-1.

Nicholson helped preserve the two-goal advantage down the stretch, recording three of her seven saves over the final 26 minutes to secure Rhode Island's quarterfinal victory and a spot in the Atlantic 10 semifinals.
