NCAA Tournament - 1st Round

East Region

(5) Charleston Southern vs. (12) George Washington

GWU played tough... for the first half. It was only a 30-28 deficit at that point. However, the Bucs defense was too strong, and forced GWU into 20 turnovers, limiting the GWU offense to 14 pts in the 2nd half. This victory for Charleston Southern sets up a showdown with fellow FOFC team Hartford in the 2nd round.

Charleston Southern 60, George Washington 42
