James Madison women's basketball returns from its seven-day layoff against No. 15 George Washington at the JMU Convocation Center on Tuesday.
The Dukes (4-0) are tied with UNC-Wilmington and Virginia Commonwealth for first place in the Colonial Athletic Association, and face a GW team that has only lost to No. 7 Rutgers. The Colonials (5-1) won 68-56 over JMU last year in Washington, D.C.
Madison has the longest active home winning streak in Division I women's basketball with 28 straight wins. The last JMU victory was Nov. 18 against Wake Forest (5-1).
JMU senior guard Tamera Young leads the Dukes in scoring with 20.0 ppg, and junior forward Kisha Stokes leads the conference with 10.5 rpg. Freshman guard Dawn Evans leads the team with 5.3 apg, and recently earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors. Can Young and the new supporting cast upset the Colonials and preserve the nation's best home winning streak?
