THE SERIES
This is just the third meeting between the two teams in a series dating back to Dec. 21, 2003. The Hurricanes hold the all-time advantage with the two wins.

The two losses have come by no more than seven points in each outing.

Georgetown hit four-straight free throws to secure the win. Senior Kristina King led both teams with 21 points, nine rebounds and five steals. Freshman Olivia Healy charted a double-double in her first collegiate appearance knocking down 17 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

After falling behind by 20 points in the last nine minutes of the ball game, Richmond went on a 26-10 run to cut the Hoya lead to just three with 56 seconds left but the Hoyas hit four-straight foul shots to secure the win. Senior Kristina King led the way with a game-high 21 points and nine rebounds.
