George Washington sophomore Gabby Reynolds has been selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference Third Team.
The West Ottawa graduate and former Miss Basketball of Michigan improved in nearly every statistical category and metric compared to a year ago. Most notably, Reynolds averaged 14.0 ppg in the regular season, 11th-best in the A-10, and a step up from her 10.2 ppg average last year. Her efficiency from the floor also took a big leap, shooting 43.2% on field goal attempts (compared to 31.9% in 2024-25) and 35.0% on three-point attempts (up from 27.0% last season). She grabbed 4.3 rebounds a night, up one compared to her 3.4 rpg average last season, and finished the year at 81.5% from the free-throw line, eighth best in the A-10.
Where Reynolds truly excelled was her consistency this season. Across her 30 games played, she scored in double figures in 22 of them, including GW’s final 11 games of the regular season from Jan. 21 – Feb. 28. She reached 10+ points in 14 of the team’s 18 conference games and finished the season with 15 games of 15+ points, including a career-high 27 against Miami on Nov. 29. She was also consistent on the glass, grabbing five or more rebounds in 12 games, including 13 against La Salle in her first career double-double on Feb. 14.
Reynolds scored 26 points in a 61-58 WNIT second-round win over Southern Indiana on Monday, March 23. George Washington faces Loyola Chicago in the next round on Friday, March 27.
