Despite racking up a season-best 195.35 points, GW came up short against UNC, who tallied 196.325 points and won in three of four events. 

Senior guard James Bishop was named the A-10 Co-Player of the week for the second time in the 2022-23 season.

The Colonials won the first seven straight of the 26-event meet, outperforming the Hoyas in 20 total, led by a perfect 13-for-13 record for the women’s team.

McCombs said Taiwo is a quiet leader that leads by example by always giving her full effort in everything she does, which allows the freshmen and senior peers to earn a lot of respect for her daily effort.

The new guidelines come after the council received the final report and recommendations to expand the post-season tournament.

The Colonials held their lowest 3-point shooting percentage in 19 games, only hitting four of their 25 shots from beyond the arc.

Off the court, Bishop is described as a “laid-back guy with a sense of humor” by Caputo, who said he’s a fun player to coach due to his relaxed attitude.

Both programs hold their best A-10 start since the 2016-17 season, which could boost their seeding for the tournament run.

GW’s recruiting budget faced a $63,861 decrease from the 2018-19 to 2019-20 fiscal year and a $281,327 decrease from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal year.

The program, created in 1996, leads events that focus on Jackie Robinson’s impact on baseball and the civil rights movement.
