Fairfax, Va. – George Mason University's women's volleyball team gave George Washington a scare in the first two sets, but the Colonials survived both times and dominated the third set to complete the Revolutionary Rivalry sweep over Mason. 

MATCH NOTES

-Senior Morghan Martin led Mason at both ends in the match, being the only Patriot to reach double digits in kills (10) and adding 14 digs; senior libero Jelena Cobanovic aided the defensive effort with 12 digs.

-Sophomore Aaliyah Davidson had match-high 11 kills while senior setter led the Colonials with 11 digs as well as having the majority of their assists – 28.

-Although they trailed 7-4 early in the first set, the Patriots went on a 5-0 run to pick up their first of three two-point leads of the set.

-Mason's last lead of the set was at 12-10 and was followed by a George Washington run that allowed them to build a comfortable 21-15 lead.

-It looked like the set is wrapped up, but with the tireless support from the Green Machine and their fans, the Patriots came within one at 24-23 and had two attack attempts to tie the score, both tamed by the stubborn defense by the Colonials, who closed the set at 25-23 through Davidson.

-Mason's head coach Jackie Simpson took an early timeout in the second set when her team was trailing 6-2.

-George Washington retained control of the tempo and earned their highest lead of the match up to that point at 18-11.

-That is as close as Mason came, however, before the Colonials closed the set with three consecutive points.
