"George Mason

In Vanessa Blair-Lewis’ first year in Fairfax, George Mason has already doubled their win total from all of last season, posting a 6-6 record. The signature moment of the season has without a doubt been Mason’s 71-66 victory over Florida, a team who later would go on to win ESPN’s Team of the Week honors with a record of 10-3 (including wins over Dayton, GW and Saint Louis). Bethune-Cookman transfer Amaya Scott has been the x-factor for the Patriots thus far, as she ranks 3rd in the A-10 in scoring at 17.0 points per game, which has her tied for 82nd nationally with Aliyah Boston of #1 South Carolina. Complimenting Scott is Jordan Wakefield and Tamia Lawhorne who contribute 13.8 and 10.4 points per game respectively. As a team, George Mason ranks 15th in the nation in free throws made (180) and 21st in the in free throw attempts (247). And while they rank 202nd in team offense (63.4 points per game), it is light years ahead of their final ranking of 326th last season at just a mere 50.5 points. There is measurable progress being made in Fairfax, and a team that went winless in the A-10 a year ago looks poised to contend to be in the top-half of the conference this year.

Best win: Florida, 75-71

Worst loss: Norfolk State, 66-59"
