Grossman Squash Courts at Lerner Health & Wellness Center.
Additional home dates for the Colonials include the regular-season opener against Georgetown on Oct. 23 and Jan. 22 against Colby.
GW will also face top-10 opponents in No. 7 Columbia (Jan. 24 in New York, New York), No. 5 Yale (Jan. 29 in New Haven, Connecticut) and No. 6 Cornell (Jan. 31 in New Haven, Connecticut).
