The Tigers remain off to their fastest start to a season since 2008 after traveling to Washington, D.C., on Thursday and bringing home a 2-0 win at George Washington.

They have scored 12 goals without reply over their four wins after opening the season with a 5-0 home win over Mississippi Valley State on Aug.

Tinaya Alexander’s opener in the sixth minute of LSU’s 2-0 win at George Washington two nights ago proved to be her second match-winner and third goal of her freshman season as she later assisted Zoe Higgins’ goal in the 26th minute for her team-leading fourth assist in four starts.

Higgins’ three goals is level with Alexander as LSU’s leading goal scorer on the year, while junior Alex Thomas and freshman Dana Reed have each netted twice and senior Nicole Howard and freshman Lucy Parker both have one goal apiece in the early going.
