ST. BONAVENTURE, NY - No. 14/13 George Washington goes for its 27th consecutive victory over St. Bonaventure when it visits the Reilly Center Saturday afternoon at 4:30 pm. The Colonials have won six consecutive games overall and currently lead the Atlantic 10 standings with an 8-1 league mark.

GW's last and only loss to St. Bonaventure came Feb. 23, 1989, at the Reilly Center, 68-56. Since then, the Colonials have rolled off 26 straight in the series, including 12-in-a-row at Reilly Center, and have won 31 of the 32 meetings in the series.

GW reached the 20-win plateau for the ninth straight season and 17th time in the last 18 years with a 69-45 victory at Massachusetts Wednesday. Senior Whitney Allen posted a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds to help the Colonials overcome playing without Kimberly Beck, who missed Wednesday's game due to illness. Freshman Erica Rivera made her first career start in place of Beck, who had her streak of 119 consecutive games played and 107 straight starts snapped.

St. Bonaventure rebounded from a three-game losing streak with a 69-66 victory at Duquesne on Wednesday. The Bonnies swept the season series with the Dukes after a narrow one-point, 62-61, home victory on Jan. 30, in which sophomore Dana Mitchell hit a pair of free throws with 0.2 seconds left for the win. Mitchell is the team's and Atlantic 10's leading scorer at 18.8 points per game, which includes a league-leading 125 made free throws.

At 16-9, the Bonnies have matched their Division I program record for victories for the second consecutive season after going 16-15 in 2006-07. Last year's 16-15 mark was SBU's first winning season since 1997-98 and only the program's fourth since moving to Division I for the 1986-87 season. The Bonnies have never had a winning Atlantic 10 record - the best being 8-8 marks in 1991-92 and 1993-94.
