New Albany, Ind.
Lete was superb in her final home match on Saturday against Davidson, matching a career high with 11 kills in the straight-set victory. The senior committed just two attack errors in 30 attempts last weekend and hit a combined .400 in the two matches.
LAST WEEKEND: The Colonials pushed first-place VCU in the first two sets on Friday before ultimately falling in straight sets. GW then snapped its skid with a dominant three-set win over Davidson to earn its third conference win of the campaign. Junior Skylar Iott hit .244 in each match, racking up 33 kills in the six sets.
ACROSS THE NET: GW faces Fordham and Rhode Island for the second time this season, having split the first weekend at the Smith Center on Oct. 5-6.
Fordham has dropped seven straight matches entering Friday's match, including being swept in its lone contest last weekend at Rhode Island. The Rams boasted a conference season-best .356 attack percentage en route to a four-set win over GW in October. Kaitlin Morley leads Fordham with 3.39 kills per set while hitting .195.
URI snapped an eight-game skid with a straight-set win over Fordham last weekend. GW swept the Rams earlier this year behind a conference season-best .275 attack percentage. Natale Zanellato is the team's top threat offensively, hitting .166 with a team-leading .280 kills per set.
LEE-DING THE WAY: Junior setter Jaimeson Lee has arguably been GW's most complete player this season, leading the team in assists and ranking second in digs and blocks. Lee has posted three double-doubles in the last four matches entering the weekend, increasing her season-long total to 14.
COMING ON STRONG: First-year Paz Dozie-Nnamah has seen an increased role in GW's rotation recently, playing in all six sets last weekend against VCU and Davidson. Dozie-Nnamah posted her two best attack percentages last weekend (.133 vs VCU / .214 vs Davidson) and also contributed five digs and a block.
AMONG LEAGUE LEADERS: Here's where the Colonials stand among A-10 foes entering the weekend:
