Colonials fall to Cowboys in first round
LEXINGTON, KY - Alexander Koul's face was somber as he made his way to the bench for the final time.

Colonial women fall to UConn
STORRS, Conn. A 10th seed defeating a seventh seed in the men's or women's 1998 NCAA Tournaments probably seemed like a small blip on the screen when compared to other upsets in the first and second rounds of both tournaments.
But that didn't make the win any less important for the GW women's basketball team, which defeated seventh-seeded University of Georgia March 13 in the first round of East Region play in Storrs, Conn.
