Recap
GW (9-11, 1-4 Southern) is looking to snap a two-game skid with losses to Southern Division foes Navy and Bucknell.

In addition, freshman Bogdan Petkovic leads the Colonials with 59 steals in his inaugural campaign.

Illes has recorded 215 saves in goal this season, his fourth straight year with at least 200 blocks, and he now has 1,000 in his career, shattering the previous mark of 951 set by Tony Paster from 1996-99.
