WASHINGTON -- The George Washington women's basketball team looks to bounce back on Sunday afternoon when it visits Atlantic 10 rival Richmond at 2 p.m. at the Robins Center.
GW (19-4, 9-1 A-10) saw its 14-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday in a 76-69 loss at Fordham. Grad student Lauren Chase tallied a team-high 18 points and eight assists, while sophomore Brianna Cummings poured in 16 points off the bench and junior Caira Washington posted her third double-double in the last four games with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
At 9-1, GW remains atop the A-10 standings, a half game ahead of Duquesne (8-1) in second place and one game in front of St. Bonaventure (8-2) and Saint Louis (8-2), who are tied for third.
Chase has led the Colonials in scoring in each of the last two games and is averaging 15.5 points per game over the last four contests with 8.0 assists and a 3.3 assist-to-turnover ratio over the last five. She ranks fourth in the A-10 and 21st nationally with 6.1 assists per game this season, and her 4.8 career apg average ranks 10th among all Division I players.
Cummings has also been hot of late, averaging 14.0 points on 61.1 percent shooting over the last four games.
GW leads the A-10 in scoring (73.9 ppg) and scoring margin (+13.6 ppg) against conference opponents. Four Colonials are averaging in double figures against league foes -- senior Jonquel Jones (17.0 ppg), Washington (12.4), Chase (11.9) and Cummings (10.1).
The Colonials, who have won the battle of the boards in all 23 games this season, continue to lead the nation in rebounding (49.8 rpg) while ranking second in rebound margin (+15.6 rpg). With her 12 caroms collected against Fordham on Wednesday, Washington moved into GW's all-time top 10 with 763 in her career.
GW has won five straight against Richmond and is 22-10 all-time against the Spiders, including 9-5 on the road. The Colonials swept the Spiders in last season's home-and-home series, including an 81-69 overtime victory at the Robins Center. Washington paced four Colonials in double figures with 17 points, while Janelle Hubbard led Richmond with 21 points.
Richmond (9-13, 2-7 A-10) has lost four in a row and seven of its last eight after dropping a 73-48 decision at Saint Louis on Wednesday. Hubbard scored a game-high 15 points for the Spiders. She ranks fourth in the A-10 in scoring with 15.7 points per game and is second in the league in free throw percentage at .831. Micaela Parson, who is averaging 12.2 points per contest, is one of the top 3-point threats in the conference, as she shoots at a .404 clip from beyond the arc, which ranks second in the league.
