Bob Ward was a two year letterman on the Georgetown teams from 1964 to 1966.

Ward had an outstanding season in 1965-66, averaging 12.2 points per game on 52 percent shooting. His 35 points versus LaSalle was a career high, and it ranks among the 25 top scoring games in Georgetown history. Other top games included a 29 point effort versus Delaware (on 10 for 12 shooting) and 23 versus Columbia.

In the fall of 1966, it was announced that Ward was ineligible for his senior season. He left Georgetown to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, reaching the rank of major.
