West Virginia (1-0) and George Washington (1-0) meet for the 28th time in program history and the first since 2023. The Mountaineers lead the all-time series 14-13 as the pair of former members of the A-10 competed annually from 1980-1995. WVU is 142-104 all-time against A-10 members.
In the Mountaineers' opening win over Rhode Island, Cooke's career night of 28 points helped the Mountaineers escape with a four-point 68-64 victory. Zahirah Walton added 12 points, while Skylar Forbes contributed eight points and seven rebounds. Khyala Ngodu paced WVU on the glass with eight rebounds.
The contest is the second of the season for a George Washington team that finished last season with an 18-18 overall record last season. The Revolutionaries opened the season with an 84-23 win over the District of Columbia, where four players finished in double figures, led by Jaeda Wilson with 16 points. Gabby Reynolds and Sara Lewis were named to the A-10 All-Conference Preseason Team.
The Mountaineer roster features two returners and 10 newcomers. West Virginia's 12-player roster breaks down into six seniors, one junior, three sophomores and two freshmen.
WVU is headlined by senior guard Gia Cooke, who was named to the Big 12 Conference Preseason Team and most recently named to the Naismith Player of the Year Watch List. Cooke opened the season with a career-high 28 points with eight make and nine points at the charity stripe.
WVU's lineup this season features six double-figure scorers from last season. Walton (18.1) leads the way for the Mountaineers as Forbes (15.5), Bordas (15.5), Cooke (15.0), Harris (14.1) and Ngodu (10.8) join her in averaging double figures a season ago.
