FAIRFAX, Va. (Interstat) — The George Mason Patriots look to rebound from a tough road loss when they host the struggling Rider Broncs in a non-conference women’s basketball game Tuesday at EagleBank Arena.

George Mason (4-2) is coming off an 84-62 defeat at Maryland on Sunday. In that game, forward Zahirah Walton scored a career-high 27 points. The Patriots had won three straight prior to the loss, including an overtime victory against Georgetown and a decisive 58-41 win over Florida Gulf Coast.

Rider (1-4) seeks to end a three-game skid after falling 67-56 at Navy on Nov. 19. Kristina Ekofo Yomane led the Broncs with 17 points in the loss, while Aliya McIver added 13 points and five assists. Rider’s lone win this season was a 65-58 victory over Lafayette on Nov. 6. The Broncs have struggled on the road, losing all four of their games away from home by an average of 23 points.

The game marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Following this contest, George Mason will travel to Daytona Beach, Florida, for a multi-team event, while Rider continues its road trip at Long Island on Dec. 2.
