The George Washington softball team dropped a pair of non-conference games to Mount St. Mary's Thursday afternoon at the MSM Softball Complex. The Colonials dropped a close one in the opener, 2-1, and were run-ruled in the second game, 11-2.

Despite the losses, senior Chrysanthi Halkiotis set the GW single-season record with 15 doubles in a season. She broke the record set in 2007 by Colonial Elana Meyers with 14.
