This past Friday night GW's women's volleyball team hosted its annual "Dig Pink" night to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer, wearing special pink jerseys.
This season, I haven't missed a home game for the volleyball team, but it's not just because I'm a fan- I have special incentive this year, because my freshman sister is on the team :) That would be her, third from the right. Here's the link to the match summary, they beat Temple university in 3 games, so it was a great night.
My roommates and I have practically become the teams official cheerleaders... maybe we should get some pom-poms? Oh wait, we already have them haha :) We've had a lot of fun cheering on GW and showing support for our volleyball team. Only 2 more home games to go, so cross your fingers!
Three of the six freshmen on the team.

Speaking of GW Sports, this post wouldn't be complete without a mention of our basketball teams. Since we don't have a football team, our school comes together every year in support of our mens and womens basketball teams. If you want to see GW spirit at its best, stop in at one of our home games. Just the other weekend, we had our annual Colonial Invasion, our big basketball season kick-off,
whose theme was "Are You Buff Enough?",
featuring performances by Capital Funk, GW's own hip-hop dance crew,
Chi-town Bucket Boys, a Chicago based drumming group that wowed the crowd with their fast paced and trick filled routine; Flipping Out, an Olympic style trampoline group that put on a routine that was nothing short of amazing; and the Rim Lockers, a trampoline dunking squad from Milwaukee that capped off their show by jumping over George, the Colonials’ mascot. Both teams also performed dance routines, to the crowd's surprise, although the women's team was interrupted by some technical glitches still being worked out in our newly renovated Smith Center.
