WASHINGTON- Fresh off an exciting fourth-quarter comeback win on Saturday, George Washington women's basketball returns to the Charles E. Smith Center court on Monday for a Valentine's Day date with Saint Louis. Monday's game, which was originally scheduled for New Year's Day but was postponed due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, will tip off at 2 p.m. Live coverage can be seen on ESPN+.
FOURTH QUARTER FLAMES
In GW's win against St. Bonaventure on Saturday, the story of the game was GW's fourth-quarter comeback. The Colonials entered the final frame against the Bonnies trailing 45-39, before putting together one of their best stretches of play this season during the final 10 minutes. Offensively, GW outscored St. Bonaventure 23-2 in Saturday's fourth quarter, while shooting 64 percent from the field. Additionally, GW buried four 3s in the final 10 minutes of play. GW had been 0-18 from downtown entering the fourth quarter.
On the defensive side of the ball, GW smothered the Bonnies in the fourth. Bona was held to just one field goal on 13 attempts, while also turning the ball over four times to the GW defense.
FOUR CAN SCORE
Against the Bonnies, four different Colonials scored in double figures to help lock up the victory. Sheslanie Laureano led all GW scorers with 14 points, while Sierra Bell scored a season-high 13 points, Kyara Frames chipped in 11 points and Mayowa Taiwo finished with 10. Saturday was just the second time this season that GW had four scorers reach double-digit points in a game (12/12 v. Howard).
PASS IT AROUND
On Saturday, GW had its best statistical performance of the season in terms of assists, registering 11 helpers to just seven turnovers against the Bonnies. GW finished the day with a 1.57 assist-to-turnover ratio, the first time this year it's had a positive ratio in a game. Additionally, GW's seven turnovers were its fewest in a contest this year.
Over the past four games, GW has shown an ability to make assists happen. The team is averaging 10.5 assists over its last four games and has had at least 11 assists in three of its last four contests.
SCOUTING SAINT LOUIS
The Billikens, who entered this season picked fourth in the A-10, currently sit at 7-14 and 3-6 in conference play. They are coming off a win in their last contest, 54-51 over Davidson, but prior to that, they had lost three straight A-10 tilts.
Leading the Billikens is two-time Atlantic 10 First-Team selection Ciaja Harbison, who is currently averaging 18.1 points per game, and Preseason A-10 Third-Team selection Brooke Flowers, who is averaging a double-double.
HISTORY AGAINST THE BILLIKENS
The Buff & Blue will enter Monday's game with history on their side against Saint Louis. Monday will be the 18th meeting between the programs, with GW holding an 11-6 advantage through the first 17 games.
This year's meeting will be the first in almost two years, as GW and SLU had their game postponed last season due to COVID-19. The last game between the two teams took place on February 2, 2020, with Saint Louis taking home the 59-45 victory.
