PRINCESS ANNE, MD – Despite holding Maryland Eastern Shore to just five points in the first quarter, the George Washington women's basketball team was unable to pick up the victory, falling 62-59 to the Hawks.
Sophomore Nya Robertson started the game hot, recording 10 points in the opening period to give GW a 17-5 lead. Despite the early momentum, UMES battled back in the second, outscoring the Buff & Blue 20-11 in the period to trim GW's halftime lead to 28-25. The Revolutionaries' second quarter slump included a 5-18 mark from the field, 1-12 from three-point range and 0-3 from the free throw line.
UMES started the third quarter fast, putting together a quick 5-0 run to take its first lead of the game at 30-28. Eventually, GW would settle in and carry a 46-42 lead into the fourth quarter. In the final period, UMES once again used a quick run to grab the lead. The Hawks rattled off seven straight points to capture a 49-46 advantage. Trailing 55-50 with just under five minutes remaining, GW used a layup from grad student Taylor Webster and a clutch three from first-year Monica Marsh to tie the contest at 55 apiece. Marsh would come up clutch again, sinking another triple a few possessions later to tie the score once again, this time at 58-58. With the crowd behind them, UMES wouldn't be denied, outscoring GW 4-1 in the final 1:30 of the game to claim the 62-59 win.
Robertson continued her solid start to the season for GW with a game-high 21 points. Grad student Nya Lok tallied 10 points and six rebounds after battling foul trouble all night, while fellow grad student Mayowa Taiwo tallied a season-high six points and eight rebounds. Webster also recorded a season-high with nine points off the bench for the Buff & Blue. Webster also grabbed five rebounds, while first-year Sara Lewis recorded her first collegiate points with six. Lewis nabbed five rebounds as well after also battling foul trouble in the second half. UMES was paced by Zamara Haynes with 17 points, while Ja'La Bannerman finished with 12 points and four rebounds.
