Colonials Invasion, GW’s annual kickoff for the men’s and women’s basketball season, was held in the Smith Center on Friday night.

Students, families and fans attending Colonials Invasion enjoyed music, performances and slam dunks from men’s and women’s basketball players.

“When you come to GW, you’re a champion on this court, you’re a champion in the classroom, and you set yourself up to be a champion the rest of your life,” said Jonathan Tsipis, head coach of the women’s basketball team.
