WASHINGTON – The George Washington women's basketball team returns to action this Wednesday for a road battle with Towson. The Revolutionaries make the trip north for an 11 a.m. tip with coverage carried on FloHoops.

GW got back on track with a dominating 91-30 win over unaffiliated Cheyney last Thursday. The win moved GW to 3-0 on the season inside the Smith Center and snapped the team's four-game losing streak. The Revolutionaries were led by junior Maxine Engel who tallied a career-high 21 points and grabbed five rebounds. First-year Kamari Sims also registered a career-high on the day, putting in 15 points and pulling down eight boards. Sophomore Caia Loving notched a career-high 15 points and 10 rebounds for the double-double, while sophomore Natalia Sierra-Vargas recorded the first points of her collegiate career with four.
