The Cougars traveled to GW Danville February 4, where Samantha Harris led the Cougars with 13 points, four rebounds, one steal, and three assists.
Aniya Penn had 11 points, nine rebounds, three steals, and one assist.
“It’s a tough loss for our young team. We simply did not meet their intensity in the first quarter, and we paid for it. We were down 15-2 to start the game and spent all the energy we had to come back and tie them late in the game,” Rakes said. “We just dug too big a hole to recover from. Credit to GW. They deserved to win the game tonight.”
