The women’s water polo team earned the eighth seed at this weekend’s 12-team Eastern Championships in Princeton, N.J. The selection was a result of the Colonials fifth-place finish at last weekend’s Southern Championships. The winner of Easterns receives an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. As the eighth seed, the Colonials will play top-seeded Michigan, […]
The Colonials posted two big wins this week, neither of which came easily. Senior Mike Bassett and his six-for-six performance helped erase a deficit and secure a 14-8 win over Towson Wednesday, while Jeff Fertitta knocked in the game-winning RBI for a 7-6 extra-innings win at George Mason Tuesday. “We’re swinging the bats real well […]
Senior outfielder Mike Bassett was named Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week and freshman pitcher Justin Orenduff was named A-10 Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

This is GW’s best finish so far in its third year in the tournament. The women capped off the Ruggerfest by pulling off a […]
Although salaries are only a part of what attracts professors to GW, administrators should pay more attention to what other schools are paying professors. Ranked 10th out of 14 market basket schools, GW is far from being where it could be. With GW in the middle of a massive expansion of its facilities, resources are […]
