MATCHUP PREVIEW
HU leads the all-time series, 9-7, but the teams have not met since 1986. In the last game, Georgetown won, 53-50, at the GW/Washington Times Invitational. The teams met consecutively from 1974-86.
Georgetown is coming off of a season where the squad had its second-consecutive WNIT berth. Tuesday marks the first game of the James Howard era as he was named the 10th head coach in Georgetown women's basketball history in June 2017. He was promoted after serving as the associate head coach for two seasons. Howard returned to the Hilltop after being an assistant coach for the Blue & Gray during the 1997-98 season. Unanimous BIG EAST Conference Preseason selection junior Dionna White leads the Hoyas.
Saturday, Howard dropped its season opener versus the William & Mary Tribe, 83-71, at Burr Gymnasium. Overall, the Bison shot 50-percent (27-of-54) from the floor; however, were unable to recover from 31 turnovers, including 20 in the first half. In her collegiate debut, freshman
Curstyn Moore guided the Bison attack with a team-high 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Sophomore
Sarah Edmond flirted with a double-double, posting 16 points and eight boards in 40 minutes of action.
