GW returns to the Smith Center Saturday for the first of two meetings with Virginia Tech. The Colonials (17-3, 6-1 Atlantic 10) are in first place in the A-10 West Division. In addition, GW’s leading scorer, forward Yegor Mescheriakov, is expected to return to the lineup after missing three games with a sprained right ankle. Virginia Tech (6-11, 1-6 A-10) is struggling under first-year head coach Bobby Hussy. The young Hokies return only one starter from last year’s team and are in last place in the A-10 West Division. Sophomore guard Brendan Dunlop and freshman guard Jenis Grindstaff lead Virginia Tech.
