LAST TIME OUT: The Colonials took a break from its conference schedule for a visit to Lehigh on Tuesday night. Freshman Skylar Iott led GW with 18 kills while senior Chidima Osuchukwu totaled 10 kills and seven blocks but it was not enough as Lehigh rallied for a 3-2 win.

REVOLUTIONARY RIVALRY: Friday marks the second competition in the 2016-17 Revolutionary Rivalry, the year-long competition between George Washington and George Mason that culminates in the awarding of the Tri-Corner Hat Trophy.
