Opponent Summary: Like last season, GW opens the 2026-27 season with a home contest against the University of District of Columbia (UDC) Firebirds of the East Coast Conference (NCAA DII). UDC comes in after finishing 11-16 overall and 7-9 in conference, good for a 4th place tie with two other teams. The Firebirds return six players from last year’s squad who averaged at least 15 minutes per game. Aliyah Eason (10.3 ppg) and Le’Asia Todd (9.2 rpg) lead the way for the Firebirds.

About the Game: This contest follows an exhibition game, where the Revs eked out a 72-69 victory against Towson on October 18. For all practical purposes, this game will be an officiated scrimmage allowing both teams to learn as much as they can about their respective teams under game conditions. The Firebirds face a size and talent deficit and will try to rely on their quickness to compensate, but may run out of gas in the late stages of the game. In last year’s contest, only 7 Firebirds got minutes against the Revs. An early DII contest will give Coach G the opportunity to take a longer look at the new players in a game situation, but this game will only provide minimal preparation for what’s coming ahead.
