Elisa Aguilar (CCAS BA '00) served as the catalyst for the Colonials from 1997-2000 as one of the most dominant point guards to ever don the Buff & Blue. Aguilar was a part of two NCAA Tournament teams in 1998 and 2000, appearing in 84 games with 82 starts. She burst onto the scene in the 1997-98 season, being named the A-10 Rookie of the Year after averaging 17.2 points per game, the 10th-highest total in program history. She was also named Second Team All-Conference, All-Rookie, All-Tournament and a five-time Rookie of the Week pick that season. Aguilar scored 37 points in a regular season game against Duquesne in January of 1998, tied for the third most in program history. The game before against St. Bonaventure she posted 32, and later in the year, she added 31 in an NCAA Tournament win over Georgia, the second-most by a Colonial in an NCAA Tournament game. Aguilar was then a two-time First Team All-Conference performer in 1998-99 and 1999-00. She finished her career third in program history, averaging 15.7 ppg and ranks 18th all-time in with 1,322 points in just three years. She is also GW's all-time leading free throw shooter by percentage at .843, is fourth in career made 3-pointers and 12th in career assists.
