The Buff & Blue limited Stonehill to 21.4% (15-of-70) shooting and no Skyhawk reached double figures. It marked the first time GW held a foe below 30% shooting since Feb. 2022 at Duquesne. GW shot 51% on Monday, improving to 9-1 under Caputo when shooting 50%. GW is now 11-1 when it scores 80+ under Caputo.
NEWCOMERS COME UP BIG IN OPENER
GW got 60 of its 89 points on Monday from its 11 newcomers to this year's team. Garrett Johnson paced GW with 21 points (5-7 3s) and nine rebounds, becoming the first GW first-year to score at least 20 points in their career debut since at least 2000.
GW started two first-years - Trey Autry and Johnson - marking the first time that the Buff & Blue have started multiple rookies since 2012-13 (Patricio Garino, Kevin Larsen, Joe McDonald, Kethan Savage).

INTRODUCING GARRETT JOHNSON
Garret Johnson's team-leading 21 points on Monday vs. Stonehill had more of a story than meets the eye. Johnson was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive benign Desmoid tumor in the summer of 2021 and had not played a competitive game in front of fans since February 2020. Johnson underwent four unsuccessful surgeries while redshirting at Princeton in 2021-22 before unenrolling and undergoing nine chemotherapy treatments from August 2022-April 2023.
He is the first GW student-athlete to ever wear #9, signifying the number of chemotheraphy treatments he endured to successfully mitigate the tumor. In his career debut, he became the first Revolutionary to post 21 points, nine rebounds and five 3-pointers in a game since Tyler Cavanaugh on Jan. 9, 2016.

A LOOK AT THE TRIBE
William & Mary is 2-0 on the season with wins over non-DI Regent (84-29) and American (75-56). The Tribe opened up Thursday's battle with American on a 21-6 run and used a 19-2 burst in the middle stages of the second half to put the game away.
Four players average double figures for W&M, led by Gabe Dorsey at 16.0 ppg on 50% shooting (8-16) from beyond the arc. Sean Houpt (13.5 ppg), Trey Moss (13.0) and Chase Lowe (10.5) all also average double digits. Houpt (Florida Tech) and Moss (South Florida) are both newcomers to the program and have scored double digits in each of the first two games of the season.
