Really felt like we should had that one, some uncharacteristic turnovers in key spots by Mason and some luck on well-defended 3s by Rhody. It would have been huge to steal that game on the road, but even a 2-point loss validates that Mason will be a double-bye contender in the A10.

​
Despite playing in a city known for a tough, defensive-minded approach like the Steel Curtain, the Mason women’s basketball got offensive.​

The Patriots were red-hot from the floor and poured in 100+ points in the road win at Duquesne.​

When was the last time the Green & Gold score 100 or more in a game?

​
​
​

TRIVIA ANSWER​

Answer: 2014.​

The women’s hoops squad last scored 100+ in 2014 when they blew past Delaware State, 110-91, on November 19, 2014.​

Smith, Harris Sweep Atlantic 10 Weekly Honors​


"WASHINGTON, D.C. – The George Mason women's basketball team duo of senior Sonia Smith and freshman Kennedy Harris have swept the Atlantic 10 Weekly awards on Monday, announced by the league office this afternoon.

Smith and Harris mark the fourth and fifth weekly honors for the Patriots this season, the most by any team in the conference, as well as the third straight week a Patriots has earned a Rookie of the Week honor.

A native of Upper Marlboro, Md., Smith had a career week, averaging 25.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while shooting 54.1% from the field and 43.8% beyond the arc. In Tuesday's narrow defeat to preseason favorite Rhode Island, Smith posted her third 20-point game of the season to lead the team. She matched her then-career-best of nine field goals to go with four rebounds, two assists and a steal. In the Patriots' rout of Duquesne on Sunday, Smith contributed just under a third of the team's 101 points, tallying the first 30-point performance of her career. She converted a career-best 11 field goals and five three-pointers to go with nine rebounds and a season-high eight assists.

Smith's Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honor is the first for the senior since joining the team prior to the 2022-23 season.

Hailing from Hampton, Va., Harris picked up her third Rookie of the Week honor and second-straight on Monday. She averaged a comprehensive 13.0 points, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals while converting 50% of her shots throughout the week, including 54.5% of shots from beyond the arc. Her week was highlighted by the first 20-point performance of her young career, posting 23 against Duquesne on Sunday after hitting a career-high eight field goals with five three-pointers. She also matched her career-high of three assists against the Dukes for the fourth time this season."
