Dating back to legendary debates on the Virginia House of Burgesses, George Mason and George Washington are two of the most distinguished Founding Fathers. Political rivals and longtime friends, the two had estates overlooking the Potomac River only miles away. With George Mason authoring the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the precursor to the United States Bill of Rights, and George Washington leading the Continental Army to a victory in the Revolutionary War, the two men are woven into the fabric of American history.

As the schools face off for the first time as conference opponents, the budding rivalry is set to take off as one of the best in the nation. In its inaugural year, The Revolutionary Rivalry is the year-long series between GW and George Mason athletics. The two departments have pledged to compete for the Tri-Corner Hat Trophy.
