History Against the Hoyas
GW is heading into Saturday's meet boasting a five-meet win streak against Georgetown. The last time Hoyas won on either the men's or women's side was the 2015-16 season, when the Buff and Blue women were taken down, 117-181. Last season, the Colonials ousted the Hoyas at home by a final score of 159-141 (men's) and 165-127 (women's).
Scouting Georgetown
Georgetown is entering Saturday's dual meet on the tails of a successful fall. The Hoya men, who are the reigning Big East Champions, are 5-0 in head-to-head scoring meets this season, with wins over American, Fordham, Howard, NJIT and Villanova. On the other side, the Georgetown women are 3-2 in head-to-head scoring meets, having beaten Howard, American and Villanova, but not finding the same success against UConn and Fordham. The Hoyas have not competed as a team since mid-November, but they will host Johns Hopkins on Friday evening before meeting with GW on Saturday.
