Beyond The Box Score

• The Scots' 17 team steals today marks a 2021 season high.
• Megan Hasty and Cara Andreotti each booked career-highs with Hasty scoring 12 points and Andreotti netting 11 points.
• Williams' 14 rebounds was not only a game-high, but also her career high.
• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "I was really happy with how well we defended in this game.  We set the tone in the first few minutes by creating turnovers, getting steals and being active on the boards.  It was clear our defensive energy was a tremendous catalyst for the other phases of the game.  It led us to a focused offensive effort where we assisted on over half of our baskets and consistently got to the FT line.  It was nice having five players get double digits in scoring — Abby and Megan's offensive efficiency was outstanding and the scoring and rebounding punch coming from our freshmen is exciting."
