Gunnar Studenhofft netted both goals to propel the Green and White to a 2-0 win.
Henry Hamilton provided offense during the team's visit to the nation's capital, scoring his first goal while dawning the Green and White.

Daniel Polakowski got the nod against George Washington.
Nassim Akki and
Liam Moore are the only two Jasper's to have played every minute thus far.
La Salle, a member of the Atlantic-10 conference, enters the contest sporting a record of 1-1, most recently making a visit to New York City for a meeting with St. Francis Brooklyn, in which ended in a 3-0 defeat for the Explorers.
In the Explorer's opening win over Stonehill (5-3), Omari Catterell netted two of the club's five goals. Justin Brunow assisted on three of the five goals scored in that match.
