The Buff & Blue and Wildcats get underway Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Smith Center
WASHINGTON – George Washington women's basketball will put a bow on its 2022-23 home schedule on Wednesday evening when it welcomes the Davidson Wildcats to the Charles E. Smith center. Tip-off between the two sides is scheduled for 6 p.m. with live coverage on NBC Sports Washington and ESPN+.
ONE MORE AT HOME
Following a 61-50 victory over Loyola Chicago last Saturday, GW now boasts an impressive 11-2 record at the Smith Center this season. GW's 11 home victories are its most in a single campaign since 2016-17, and the team's win percentage at the Smith Center (.846) is the second-highest mark in the A-10 this year.
In addition to GW's 11 home dubs, the team is also riding a six-game home winning streak. During the streak, GW has outscored its opponents by an average of 10.7 points while holding opponents to just 52 points per game. First-year Nya Robertson has been scorching hot during the stretch, averaging 20.5 points a night.
Should GW win its home finale against Davidson on Wednesday evening, it would give the program 12 home wins for the first time since 2015-16. It would also give GW its first seven-game home win streak since 2014-15.
DISHING OUT DIMES
Last Saturday against the Ramblers, grad student Mia Lakstigala reached new personal highs in assists. Lakstigala dished out a team-high six dimes, which was a career-best for the Naperville, Ill. native.
Lakstigala now has 49 assists this season, which is a new career-high. She is also averaging 1.9 assists per game and boasts a 1.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, both of which are career-bests.
SCOUTING DAVIDSON
The Wildcats enter Wednesday's contest at 12-14 overall and 5-7 in Atlantic 10 play. Davidson will arrive in Foggy Bottom having lost its last three games to Richmond, Saint Joseph's and UMass, while giving up 70+ points in each of the losses.
The Wildcats attack will be led by the duo of Elle Sutphin and Suzi-Rose Deegan. Sutphin is fifth in the A-10 in points per game (16.9) while Deegan is 11th (13.7). The duo has also been strong on the glass, with Sutphin averaging 7.4 rpg and Deegan averaging 6.5.
