- GW won its 14th straight game since Dec. 6 on Sunday while snapping Saint Louis' seven-game win streak. The Colonials' 14-game streak is tied for the fifth-longest active streak in Division I and is the sixth-longest in program history.
- GW sits alone atop the A-10 standings with a perfect 9-0 conference mark. The Colonials have won 17 straight games against league opponents since Feb. 15, 2015, the fourth-longest active streak in the nation.
- At 19-3, GW has equaled the second-best record through 22 games in program history. The 2006-07 and 2014-15 squads were each 20-2, while the 1999-2000 Colonials were also 19-3 after 22 contests.
- After tallying a season-high 89 points against the Billikens, GW leads the A-10 in scoring both overall (73.6 ppg) and in conference games (74.4 ppg) and is outscoring A-10 foes by a league-best 15.9 points per contest.
- Graduate student Lauren Chase posted her first double-double as a Colonial and the fourth of her career with a team-high 19 points and 10 assists against just one turnover. She ranks second in the A-10 with 6.6 assists in league contests and boasts a 3.2 assist-to-turnover ratio over her last five outings. In addition, Chase is averaging 14.7 points over her last three games.
- Sophomore Brianna Cummings scored 14 of her 18 points in the second half, including eight straight points in the fourth quarter to turn the Colonials' three-point lead into an 11-point cushion. She is averaging 13.3 points on 68.2 percent shooting (15-22) over her last three games.
- Junior Caira Washington notched her seventh double-double of the season and the 25th of her career with 13 points and 10 rebounds, marking the eighth time that two Colonials have registered double-doubles in the same game this season.
- Junior Shannon Cranshaw tallied 14 points to give the Colonials at least four players in double figures for the eighth time this season. She was 3-of-4 from 3-point range in the game and is 8-of-11 from beyond the arc in her last two contests.
- Senior Dalacy Anderson scored all eight of her points in the first half and made a pair of treys, as the Colonials were 8-of-18 from long distance against the Billikens. GW has made 24 three-pointers over the last three games, shooting 43.6 percent from deep in that span.
- Sophomore Kelli Prange equaled Washington with a game-high 10 rebounds as GW won the battle of the boards for the 22nd straight game, outrebounding Saint Louis, 41-36. The Colonials continue to lead the nation with 50.2 blocks per contest.
- GW's defense forced 18 Saint Louis turnovers, well above the Billikens' average of 13.6 miscues per game entering Sunday. The Colonials converted for 23 points off turnovers on the day and matched a season high with 11 steals - the third time in the last four games they have hit that mark.
- GW has been hot from the floor over the last three games, shooting 47.6 percent, including 47.1 percent (32-68) on Sunday.
