RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Patricio Garino scored seven of his 16 points during a 14-4 run in the second half and George Washington beat Richmond 73-61 Wednesday night for its third consecutive victory.

Kevin Larsen scored 14 and Tyler Cavanaugh and Joe McDonald added 13 each for the Colonials (21-7, 10-5 Atlantic 10). George Washington won despite a scoring drought of more than four minutes in the closing minutes because Richmond went more than six minutes without a field goal and scored just two points in that stretch.

Terry Allen scored 16 points to lead the Spiders (14-13, 6-9), who lost their third in a row. T.J. Cline added 15 and 10 rebounds.

The score was tied at 45 before Paul Jorgensen's 3-pointer sparked the decisive run. Matt Hart added a pair of free throws and Garino, who did all his scoring after halftime, made a 3-pointer following a bucket by the Spiders' Julius Johnson.
