It's playoff time, and Roosevelt had no trouble coming through when it counted. They were the clear victor by a 60-37 margin over the George Washington Patriots on Wednesday. The Roughriders have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 17 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Roosevelt's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kyla Hollier led the charge by shooting 52% from the field on her way to 27 points in addition to seven boards and six steals. That makes it four consecutive games in which Hollier has scored at least a third of Roosevelt's points. Another player making a difference was Ryanne Bahnsen-Price, who dropped a double-double with 19 points and ten rebounds.

Roosevelt smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 22 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 13 offensive rebounds in three consecutive games.

When it comes to explaining why George Washington lost, don't look at Brittany Booker. Despite the final result, she went 8-for-18 en route to 22 points along with eight boards and three steals. The dominant performance gave Booker a new career-high in rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Jordan Lagasse, who posted six points in addition to six boards and three steals.

Roosevelt is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 33.1 points. George Washington's defeat dropped their record down to 16-9.

Roosevelt has already played their next match, a 46-42 loss against Green Mountain on the 7th. George Washington does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
