Georgetown Hoyas win again but lose two players to pros

The Georgetown University men’s soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to 25 on Saturday with a 5-1 victory over Connecticut, yet the Hoyas’ hope of repeating as NCAA champions next month was dealt a setback by two top players leaving the program this weekend to pursue pro opportunities.

Senior attacker Jacob Montes, who posted two goals and two assists against the Huskies, will fly to England on Sunday for a tryout with an unnamed Premier League club. Senior defender Rio Hope-Gund will report this coming week to Orlando City, the MLS club that drafted him in the first round in January.
