FAIRFAX, Va. -- Freshman guard Patrick Holloway turned in one of the finest performances of his college career Thursday night, leading George Mason to a 71-46 victory over Old Dominion in a Colonial Athletic Association game at the Patriot Center.
Holloway came off the bench to score 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and add three assists, leading a collection of reserves who combined to make 25 of 35 shots from the floor for the Patriots (9-6, 2-1 CAA).
