Magical. That's what Dawn Staley called the GW women's team's season. Junior Kim Beck's play exemplified that late in the team's game against Temple Sunday night. With 25 seconds left Sunday against Temple, GW had a three-point lead with history on the line.
When the game ended Sunday afternoon, sounds of her name filled Smith Center. Senior Kenan Cole should be used to it by now since Joe McKeown, GW's head coach, has been screeching it from the sidelines for four years. But this time, the chants came from the crowd.
PHILADELPHIA - The GW men's basketball team had five players in double figures in Saturday's 86-74 win over La Salle at Tom Gola Arena. They shot 51 percent from the field, out rebounded the Explorers by nine and had two players with double-doubles. But Karl Hobbs was not happy.
