"FANS/SPIRIT SQUAD AWARD: George Washington
This is the first time ever that the fan award and the spirit squad award has been combined into one, but we've really never had the scenario in which it fit perfectly. Tonight, it did. With a small crowd, George Washington's fans were hands down the more vocal group, and that's a credit to both their band and their spirit squad. What amazed me though tonight was their spirit squad never lost faith, or never showed it at least, until the final buzzer sounded. They never stopped smiling (and these were genuine smiles, not those fake plastered ones you see from certain West Coast schools....you know which ones they are), enjoying the moment for themselves and their team, and they made it contagious, as even the GW bench smiled and did cheers late in the game. GW lost the game, but UNC, as well as Georgia and Purdue, could've learned a thing or two from the First Ladies. Also, they did a halftime show....where were the other schools?

So, to Hope Krasniewicz, Alyssa Steinmetz, Megan Shea, Meg Cerullo, Cat Corbo, Katrina Ulcickas, Ally Tranchina, Emma Geller, Rachel Hornak, Allison Zoch, Megan Dillon, and Thayer Case, the cap is tipped to all of you, who set the bar very high for any other programs to match."
