WASHINGTON- The George Washington volleyball team will attempt to win the sixth annual DC Challenge when it hosts a rescheduled match against Georgetown on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the Charles E. Smith Center at 7:00 pm. The match was originally scheduled for August 27, but was postponed due to adverse weather conditions associated with Hurricane Irene.
GW opened the DC Challenge by snapping American's 19-match home winning streak, the seventh-longest in the nation, in front of 2,122 fans at Bender Arena. The crowd was the largest to watch a collegiate volleyball match in Washington, D.C., history.
The momentum carried over to day two of the DC Challenge as the Colonials knocked off George Mason, 3-1.
The Colonials can clinch their third DC Challenge championship with a victory over the Hoyas. GW won the event in 2006 and 2008.
