The first meeting of the two teams ended in favor of GW with a final score of 15-14. The Green & White, who battled the Colonials throughout, trailed by one at the end of the opening quarter, 3-2.
A pair of newcomers supplied the early offense for the Green & White in junior transfer utility

Senior captain and utility
Devin O'Donnell tied things up, 3-3, in the beginning of the second quarter. A pair of sophomore drivers in
Jordi Alonso and

However, in the final eight minutes, the Colonials went on a 5-2 run in pulling out the 15-14 win.
In defeat, the Serbian duo of Kolasinac and Bulajic combined for six goals, registering a hat trick each.
