THE ALL-TIME SERIES (GEORGE WASHINGTON) – RMU has only played the Revs three times in the series history with the Colonials taking a loss all three occasions.

SCOUTING THE REVS – George Washington has opened the season with a 1-4 record as they got their lone win against Howard in the first game of the year. Junior attack Everly Kessler leads the Revs in points so far this season as she has tallied eight goals and five assists through five games. GW made it to the A10 quarterfinals game last year where they lost against Davidson, 15-5.
CLIMBING THE RECORD BOOKS – Graduate Student
Colleen Tifft now has 99 goals in her RMU career which puts her in ninth-place on the all-time goals list as a Colonial. Tifft would become just the ninth Colonial all-time to hit the 100-goal plateau as Mackenzie Gandy owns the record for most career goals with 149.
Julia Koterwas is also closing in on the record books as she has 99 career points heading into Saturday's matchup.
RUN IT BACK – Joining the Mid-American Conference in 2021, the Colonials have been making a name for themselves the past three seasons. In RMU's first season in the MAC they were crowned champions and the past two years have made the championship game but fell both times to Central Michigan.
