Colonials clash with Golden Gophers on Sunday afternoon
WASHINGTON - GW women's basketball will play in its first road game of the season, traveling to Minnesota for the first time in program history for a Sunday afternoon battle with the Golden Gophers. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network+.
MAGNIFICENT MAYOWA: Through two games, Mayowa Taiwo has solidified herself as one of GW's most dependable players. The redshirt junior has started the year with back-to-back 10 point outings and has posted double-digit points in four straight games dating back to last season. Defensively, Taiwo is tied for the team lead in steals and is second in rebounds and blocks.
CRASH THE BOARDS: Through the first two games of the year, GW has been dominant pulling down defensive rebounds. With 43 defensive boards to their opponents 11 offensive rebounds, GW boasts an impressive .796 defensive rebound percentage. That mark is second-best among A-10 teams through two games.

SCOUTING THE GOLDEN GOPHERS: Minnesota enters the 2021-22 season returning 12 letter winners from last year, including five starters. Offensively, Jasmine Powell and Sara Scalia both averaged 14.5 points in 2020 and will be relied upon to help lead Minnesota's offensive attack.
In the Golden Gophers' first game, they dropped a heartbreaker to Jacksonville, where JU outscored Minnesota 24-16 in the second half. Scalia led all scorers with 25 points on the night. Before taking on GW, Minnesota will head to Arizona for a Friday evening matchup against Arizona State.
