The Retrievers erased a four‑run deficit, driven by timely hitting and clutch relief work, to claim the second seed and a tournament bye.

UMBC’s baseball team exploded for 17 runs, with Ehi Okojie’s three‑hit, six‑RBI performance leading a balanced attack that also featured a pinch‑hit homer by Nolan Kutney and strong outing from Zach Robinson.

A late‑inning grand slam handed Towson a 9‑8 victory over UMBC, leaving the Retrievers to regroup before a home series against NJIT.

GW’s men’s basketball team has secured forward Malachi Arrington via the transfer portal, aiming to deepen its frontcourt and add depth for the upcoming campaign.
