Tied for ninth place in the Atlantic 10 standings with George Washington University entering Wednesday, the St. Bonaventure University women’s basketball team fell 61-47 to the Revolutionaries at the Charles E. Smith Center.
Bonaventure now sits one game ahead of Saint Louis University, which owns the tiebreaker over the Bonnies.
Teams that finish between the No. 5 and No. 10 seeds automatically advance to the second round of the A-10 tournament, which begins March 4.
Bonaventure (15-14, 6-11 A-10) opened the game with a layup from junior forward Kylie Buckley but did not lead again.
George Washington (13-14, 9-7 A-10) led 34-21 at halftime and extended its lead to as many as 18 points in the third quarter.
Sophomore guard Gabby Reynolds led the Revolutionaries in scoring with 12 points.
Graduate guard Aaliyah Parker led the Bonnies with 12 points and seven rebounds.
Bonaventure hosts Fordham University (10-18, 2-15 A-10) for Senior Day in its regular-season finale on Saturday at 1 p.m. The game will air on ESPN+ and the Bonnies Online Network.
