Beyond The Box Score

• Meghan Foley registered a career-high 39 points. Her previous career-high was 37 (January 12, 2019 vs. Roger Williams). Foley also had a career-high six steals.
• Madison Wynbeek booked a career-high 12 points.
• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "Meghan had another explosive offensive game. She continues to find ways to score and also gets her teammates involved in the action. She was relentless at both ends of the court but offensively came up with one big shot after another. I also really thought Delaney McDonnell's defensive presence made a huge difference and overall I was thrilled to get contributions from so many people."
