Gotta start going to their games!

Yes! More of this! This team is good, and they need all the support they can get Wednesday night when Davidson (possibly the best team in the A10) visits EBA. Tickets are $10 and you get to hear the Green Machine, too.

Mason over Davison
46-24 at the half
Davidson seems to be taller at ever position but they have been unable to exploit that height advantage

Walton Named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week - George Mason University Athletics

Zahirah Walton has been named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for the second time in her career, announced by the league office on Monday.

gomason.com

"Walton's honor marks the fourth-straight and fifth overall Rookie of the Week honor for the Patriots this season, as she earned it on Dec. 26 and Kennedy Harris has earned it three times, including the last two weeks.

Walton contributed across the board in the Patriots' 1-0 week as Mason downed Davidson in dominating fashion, 79-41, at home on Wednesday. The sophomore rookie tallied 12 points on 5-7 shooting from the field and 4-4 tallied from the free throw line. The forward from Seattle, Wash. also added four rebounds, two steals and a career-high two blocks."

I was thinking the same thing. Tenacious defense and lots of transition points…these girls are good!
