WASHINGTON - The George Washington University softball team heads north this weekend for an A-10 clash at Fordham. The Revolutionaries and Rams will face off in the Bronx, N.Y., in a doubleheader on Saturday (12 p.m. & 2 p.m.) and a single game on Sunday (12 p.m.), with coverage of each game available on ESPN+.
MAGGIE MOVING THE LINE
Graduate infielder Maggie Greco set the tone for the Buff & Blue at the plate last weekend vs. Saint Louis. Greco reached base in nine of her 12 plate appearances for a .750 OBP. She hit .571 (4-7) in official at-bats vs. the Billikens, but reached base another five times via two walks and three hit-by-pitches. Greco scored four times in the series, including three runs in GW's 11-1 win on Saturday, and added one RBI. Â
ROSE ON THE RISE
Rose Cano, coming off her selection as A-10 Pitcher of the Week, continued to shine both in the circle and in the batter's box in GW's three games vs. SLU. Cano appeared in the circle in all three games in the series, which included two starts and a 1.50 ERA. Cano held batters to a .268 Avg. in 14.0 innings and allowed just three earned runs. The Long Beach, Calif., product also contributed offensively in the series. She hit .400 (4-10) with one RBI and one run scored, which included a 3-4 performance in game one.Â
ABOUT THE OPPONENT
Fordham is 14-19-1 this season and is tied with GW at 5-4 in the A-10. Each of Fordham's A-10 series have been split 2-1, with the Rams winning at home vs. Rhode Island and on the road at George Mason, but falling at UMass. Fordham also didn't play its midweek game as its game at St. John's was canceled due to weather.
Sydney Wells tops the Rams' offensive charts in most categories. She has a .323 Avg. and 1.130 OPS with nine home runs, 10 doubles and 38 RBI. Bailey Enoch also contributes for the Rams at a high-level, sporting a .990 OPS with 11 doubles, five home runs and 15 RBI. In the circle, it's Devon Miller who leads the Rams with a 3.14 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, while holding opponents to just .215 at the plate.
GW trails the all-time series vs. Fordham, 39-9. Under head coach Chrissy Schoonmaker, the GW Revs are 4-5 vs. the Rams.Â
