Has there ever been a bus trip offered for a women's game? If so, I don't remember.

They have a hard enough time getting our fans to show up for away pregames/bus trips for men's games - likely not worth their effort to put together a bus trip for literally a few people that would go. Commentary on fan support, not the admin with this one.

send/post an email with departure times and price; contingent on demand, then they would know for sure

Email Taylor and ask him about it - he is very responsive and accessible. Might help to get it done for another game.

Game Notes indicate Kennedy Harris as one of the "probable starters". Komara not listed as key bench contributors. Nothing in the text about injuries or why they missed time in the first game.

Anybody know anything about their situations?

Halftime: GMU 35 - at JMU 19 (22-7 in the 2nd quarter)

Kennedy Harris started the game and has played through out. Said to be "probable" by jmu announcers before game
Mason over 50 percent from 3 for the half. Madison with no 3s.

Great 2 plays from the game

 

[psyclone]

Never close after making a 20-2 run to begin the 2d quarter. 13-12 to 33-14 in about 8 minutes.

Got very sloppy in last 4-5 minutes of game--we didn't handle the press well.

Shot better from 3 than we did on layups! So still some room to grow, but Harris didn't show any signs from whatever kept her out of most of the second half & OT against Temple.

Amoeteng shows some promise but makes some rookie mistakes. Hopefully she'll improve in the non-conference part of the season.

Big win!

Awesome response after tough OT loss to a solid Temple team. I have an inkling that Walton may be our best player… ever.

Do you believe that she's better than Natalie Butler?

More athletic and fluid than Natalie Butler but Butler was a half a foot taller. Big advantage down low in the women's game.

Do you believe that she's better than Natalie Butler?

She very well might be. I don’t think Natalie ever scored 50+ pts over the course of 2 games.

12/11/17 vs. UMBC: 16 points & 13 rebounds
12/21/17 at Houston: 35 points & 20 rebounds

Unless I'm mistaken, Natalie Butler still holds the NCAA single-season record for total rebounds.

In the years that I attended the women's games, Jen Derevjanik was the best GMU player that I saw.

Nice game recap from the Daily News-Record in Harrisonburg

George Mason ends 20-year drought against JMU

On a normal night, the way James Madison dominated the glass, continually got the ball into the lane for good looks and forced multiple shot clock violations might have been

"the home rims were not kind to the Dukes, who made just 14 of 36 layup attempts and failed to capitalize on 22 George Mason turnovers."

“Sean welcomed me to Fairfax really good when I got the job my first year,” George Mason head coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis said. “They came up there and they put it on us. But it is important. We go after a lot of the same kids. You definitely want to be able to talk about being able to beat your in-state rivals.”
