George Washington (4-2) shot a season-best 51.1 percent (23 of 45) from the floor and 75 percent (18 of 24) from the foul line, and takes a 16-game home-court winning streak into Tuesday's game with two-time defending national champion Tennessee.
Jessica Adair led all scorers with 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting for the Colonials, and was named the tournament's most valuable player. She was joined by teammate Antelia Parrish, who scored all 11 of her points in the final 11 minutes, on the all-tournament team.
