WASHINGTON, DC—Gallaudet faced the #2 team in the CAC at
the Field House tonight, with the Mary Washington Eagles
prevailing, 81-66.
The Bison jumped ahead to an early lead and stayed in front for
the first 8 minutes until the Eagle three-point shooters rallied to
take the lead, 20-19. Mary Washington converted their scoring
opportunities and built a 11-point lead into the half, 45-34.

run to bring the gap within three (47-44). Mary Washington took
their size and perimeter shooting to re-build the lead 60-47 at the

Washington built as time expired despite hard work and a

assists. Freshman Dan Fava had a game-high 8 rebounds. Mary
