Freshman forward Dwayne
Smith's putback at the buzzer forced overtime and senior forward Damian
Hollis's 9 points in the extra frame sealed the deal as George Washington edged
East Carolina 84-80 Tuesday night in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
The heroics of Smith and
Hollis enabled the Colonials (8-2) to escape the upset bid of ECU (5-7),
which featured a balanced attack with five players in double figures.
Hollis scored a game-high
21 points, sophomore guard Tony Taylor added 20, Smith had 11 and
sophomore forward Aaron Ware contributed 10 to help GW capture the first
meeting between the schools since 1973.
Junior point guard Brock
Young produced 20 points and 10 assists to lead the Pirates, while
junior center Chad Wynn scored 17, junior forward Jamar Abrams had 15,
junior guard Jontae Sherrod added 13 and sophomore forward Darrius
Morrow contributed 10.
East Carolina led at the
half 34-33. The game was knotted at 73 at the end of regulation.
The Pirates have a break
in the schedule over Christmas before returning to action in a road game
next Tuesday at Virginia Commonwealth (7 p.m.) The Rams are 6-2 heading
into a Thursday night matchup with Tulane in New Orleans.
