Webster, Taiwo lead the way scoring in double digits
WASHINGTON - GW women's basketball ran into a buzzsaw in the form of the 24th ranked team in the country on Thursday night at the Smith Center, falling to Virginia Tech 75-38.
Early on in the contest, GW went toe-to-toe with the Hokies thanks to sophomore Taylor Webster and redshirt junior Mayowa Taiwo, and had the game within a point midway through the second quarter. However, Virginia Tech showed why they're nationally ranked, ending the half on a 14-4 run before putting the game out of reach in the second half thanks to a 34-point game by Elizabeth Kitley.
Offensively for GW, Webster led the way with 11 points, while Taiwo scored double-digit points for the second straight game.
GW will now turn its attention to its first road trip of the season, heading to the land of 10,000 lakes to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday at 3 p.m.
