Lady Bulldogs three games, while in the win over Winston-Salem
State on November 16th, GWU had 10 different players score in the
contest.
Senior Margaret Roundtree, a Durham native, will look to continue
her solid play this season in her hometown on Sunday afternoon, as
the forward has scored in double figures in all three of the Lady
Bulldogs games thus far this season and averaging 11.7 points and
7.0 rebounds per game.
The Hudson twins have jump started its 2009-10 season on the right
track, as Dominique leads the team with 12.3 points per game, while
Monique is averaging 10.7 points per game off the bench for Coach
Reeves' squad.
In its last contest, redshirt-junior Sandra Vaitkute poured in a
career-high 19 points and hauled in a game-high nine rebounds to
power the Lady Bulldogs past Limestone College, 71-50. Three other
Lady Bulldogs scored in double figures, as GWU overcame 27
turnovers by shooting 47.5 percent from the field. Gardner-Webb
held Limestone to 25.0 percent shooting in the first half, allowing
the Lady Bulldogs to pull away early and play with a large lead for
most of the game.
