CHARLOTTE, NC - No. 8/9 George Washington, winner of 14 consecutive games, visits Charlotte and Halton Arena for the first time on Thursday at 7:00 pm. The Colonials will look to snap the 49ers 22-game home winning streak.
No. 8/9 GW (21-2, 10-0 A-10) beat Charlotte, 69-65, in the two teams' first meeting at the Smith Center last February to clinch a share of the 2006 A-10 regular-season title. That victory was the first in GW's current 12-game home court winning streak, the 12th longest in the country.
A Colonials' victory on Thursday would tie the second longest winning streak in program history at 15 games.
Junior Kimberly Beck averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.5 steals in lopsided victories over Duquesne (76-46) and St. Bonaventure (75-41) last week. Junior Sarah-Jo Lawrence averaged a team-best 13.5 points and 4.0 steals, followed by senior Kenan Cole's 13.0 points, on 56 percent shooting, and 5.0 assists and sophomore Jessica Adair's 12.5 points and 6.5 boards in the wins over the Dukes and Bonnies.
The 49ers 22-game home winning streak is the fourth longest in the country. Charlotte last lost at home on Dec. 18, 2005, against Old Dominion (79-69). Junior Sabrina Gregory paces the 49ers in scoring at 13.5 ppg, while sophomore center Danielle Burgin averages 11.0 points and a team-best 7.5 boards.
