CHICAGO (Interstat) — The George Mason Patriots look to complete a regular-season sweep and solidify their standing when they visit the Loyola Chicago Ramblers in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball matchup Wednesday night at Joseph Gentile Center. George Mason (17-8) enters with momentum after a gritty 46-37 defensive victory over Richmond on Monday. The Patriots have won seven of their last ten, showcasing a balanced attack. Guard Kennedy Harris has been a consistent offensive catalyst, averaging 12.4 points over her last seven games. She scored 15 points in Monday’s win and had 12 points and five assists in the January meeting with Loyola Chicago. The Ramblers (12-13) seek to halt a two-game skid and avenge a 59-54 loss at George Mason on Jan. 14. Loyola Chicago has struggled offensively in recent losses to Saint Joseph’s and Duquesne, but remains formidable at home, where they are 8-4 this season. Guard Alexa Kinas leads their backcourt, coming off a 15-point, 4-assist performance against Saint Joseph’s. Her versatility as a scorer and facilitator will be key to challenging George Mason’s defense. The Patriots’ recent success has been built on defensive pressure, holding opponents under 50 points in three of their last five wins. Loyola Chicago’s path to an upset likely requires breaking that trend and finding scoring beyond Kinas. The Ramblers won five straight prior to their current slump, indicating their capability. Wednesday’s contest is a pivotal Atlantic 10 Conference clash for both teams. George Mason aims to bolster its postseason resume, while Loyola Chicago looks to climb back to .500 and gain a measure of revenge from last month’s narrow defeat. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST.
