She also would have been a 200 freestyle B finalist, and the team&#8217;s only scorer in the event. Hodge would also be a 200 butterfly B finalist. George Mason had two A finalists in that event last year, but only\u00a0<strong>Christina McLemore\u00a0<\/strong>will still be on the roster next year, and she will be a senior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0George Mason University has added a verbal commitment from\u00a0Laura Hodge\u00a0for the Class of 2022.
