WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University women's basketball team defeated the George Washington University Revolutionaries 79-50 on Friday evening at McDonough Arena. With the win, the Hoyas improve to 3-2 overall, while the Revolutionaries drop to 1-4 on the year.

Head Coach Darnell Haney

• "We had a big sense of togetherness tonight. I think we had some people step up, having 50 points off the bench, that's huge. I have never seen anything like that. But I'm just proud of our group, in that second quarter and a little bit of that third quarter, they started to make a run. And we withstood the run, and we executed our stuff, we defended and we got out of that foul trouble. So I was just proud of them for that, getting out of that lull. Overall, I liked our focus."
