Box Score RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Manhattan women's basketball team fell to George Washington, 55-49, for its first loss of the season tonight at Draddy Gymnasium.
"I feel like the foul troubles to our players was a factor in the second half. Jade (Blagrove) and Petra (Juriic) are a big part of what we do," said head coach Heather Vulin. "When they got in foul trouble, that changed the whole dynamic of what we do."
