WASHINGTON – The BIG EAST Conference held its annual media day on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Hoyas were represented by Head Coach James Howard as well as graduate student Brianna Jones, senior Anita Kelava,  and sophomores Cassandra Gordon and Nikola Kovacikova.
 
Players and coaches met with national media outlets to talk about the upcoming 2019-20 season. Promotional material was filmed during the event to be used on FOX and BIG EAST Digital Network broadcasts throughout the season.
 
Georgetown was picked to finish 10th in the preseason coaches' poll as voted on by league's head coaches. The Blue & Gray ended last season with a mark of 19-16 overall going 9-9 in BIG EAST play and winning eight of its final 10 games. The team made history advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament semifinals for the second-consecutive year, and made it to the WNIT quarterfinals for the first time since 2009.  The Hoyas lost three starters to graduation but return a talented group battling for minutes.
 
The Hoyas will celebrate the start of the season on Friday as the squad, along with the men's team, hosts the annual Hoya Madness event at McDonough Arena.
