WASHINGTON, DC - The George Washington women's basketball team will put its three-game winning streak and 7-1 mark on the line against No. 6/5 Tennessee at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN, on Thursday at 7:00 pm.
The Colonials are off to the third best start in program history following Saturday's 68-55 victory at Stony Brook. Four players are averaging double-figures, paced by Sarah-Jo Lawrence's 15.0 ppg. Junior Kimberly Beck is once again leading the A-10 in assists at 5.88 apg and is ranked in the top-6 in six other categories.
GW improved to No. 19 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Poll yesterday, but remained steady at No. 21 in the Associated Press Poll on Monday.
GW is 0-7 all-time against Tennessee, including a pair of losses last season. UT escaped the Smith Center with a 59-43 victory on Dec. 7, 2005, a game in which the Colonials led midway through the first half. The Lady Vols then knocked GW out of the NCAA Tournament last March with a 66-53 second-round win. The 13-point margin was the tightest in the seven-game series.
