Feb 6, 2010 - 10:05 PM WASHINGTON(AP) -- Damian Saunders scored 27 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to help Duquesne weather the storm and defeat George Washington 70-63 on Saturday.The Dukes (12-11, 3-6 Atlantic 10 Conference) led 57-50 with 6:55 remaining but the Colonials (12-10, 2-7) cut the lead to one, 64-63, on Damian Hollis' layup with 1:34 left.
Eric Evans' layup gave Duquesne a 66-63 lead and Melquan Bolding's free throw made it 67-63 with 41 seconds left.
