Colonials earn win over AU, prepare for Maui
GW pounded the ball inside early and continued to get points in the paint to dispatch American University 74-47 Wednesday night at the Smith Center.
The Colonials (3-0) took control early, running off nine straight points to open the game. Twice during the run Alexander Koul got the ball under the basket in good position for an easy layup, which turned out to be a common theme throughout the game.
GW opens season by beating Hoyas
Tajama Abraham, Colleen McCrea and Lisa Cermignano were not on the court for the Colonial women Tuesday, but Noelia Gomez and Elisa Aguilar were, and they led the GW women's basketball to team to a 83-62 season-opening win at Georgetown.
Aguilar, a sophmore guard, led all scorers with 19 points. Gomez chipped in 17 points and eight rebounds as GW (1-0) played its first regular-season game without the three senior leaders of last year's team.
