Preview: George Washington Women Set for Atlantic 10 Clash at VCU

RICHMOND, Va. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum in Atlantic 10 Conference play will meet Wednesday when the George Washington Revolutionaries visit the VCU Rams at Siegel Center.

George Washington (10-10, 1-4 A-10) enters looking to snap a two-game skid after a 53-48 home loss to Loyola Chicago on Saturday. The Revolutionaries have lost five of their last seven contests.

VCU (6-13, 2-3) aims to rebound from a 77-47 road defeat against city rival Richmond on Sunday. The Rams have struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses in their past five games.

A key matchup will feature George Washington guard Sara Lewis against VCU’s Cyriah Griffin. Lewis is averaging 13.6 points over her last seven games, including a 17-point, 4-assist performance in a win at Duquesne on Jan. 14. Griffin is coming off a 15-point effort against Richmond and scored 11 in a loss to Rhode Island last Wednesday.

The Revolutionaries won their last road game, 59-45 at Duquesne, but are 1-4 in true road games this season. VCU is 5-5 at home.

Historically, VCU holds a 15-13 advantage in the series, but George Washington has won three of the last five meetings. Last season, the teams split their matchups, each winning on their home court.

Following this game, George Washington will host Fordham on Sunday. VCU will travel to face Davidson on Sunday.

Probable Starters:

George Washington: G Sara Lewis, G Gabby Reynolds, F Colleen Phiri, plus two others to be determined at game time. VCU: G Cyriah Griffin, F Lucy Ghaifan, G Daija Preston, plus two others to be determined at game time.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Wednesday at the Siegel Center.
