SACRAMENTO (AP)--Sophomore center Joseph Katuka had 13 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocked shots to help George Washington defeat Sacramento State 59-47 on Tuesday night.
Rob Diggs led the George Washington Colonials (6-2) with 14 points and six rebounds.
Antonio Flaggs and Loren Leath each had 11 points to lead the Sacramento State Hornets (1-10).
With the Hornets missing 14 of their first 16 shots from the field, the Colonials took an 18-5 lead after Damian Hollis made a basket with 7:39 left to play in the first half.

The Colonials pushed their margin to 19 points on a 3-point shot by Rob Diggs at the 13:37 mark in the second half. The Hornets suddenly found their shooting touch and charged back to cut George Washington?s lead to 45-35 on a basket by Randy Adams with less than 12 minutes in the game.
