- The William & Mary women's basketball team looks to make it five in a row as it continues a stretch of five games in 10 days. W&M now closes a two-game road swing at St. Francis (Pa) on Saturday afternoon.
- Each of the last two seasons, the Tribe has set a new school record for non-conference regular season wins with nine in 2015-16 and 10 last season. In its last 29 non-conference games, W&M has posted a 25-4 mark.
- For the first time in his W&M career, head coach
Ed Swanson has evened his Tribe record to .500 (64-64). He accomplished the feat three years in 364 days after he picked up his first career Tribe win against UMass on Nov. 30, 2013.
- After losing its top two scorers from last season, W&M has put, at least, three players in double-figures in all seven games this season and has had four players in double-figures in the last four games. Seniors
Jenna Green and
Abby Rendle as well as junior
Bianca Boggs have scored in double-figures in six of the seven games, while sophomores
Victoria Reynolds (four times) and
Nari Garner (twice) have also scored in double-figures, in at least one game, this season.
- One of the Tribe's biggest question marks heading into the season was who was going to hit 3-pointers with the graduation of Marlena Tremba, Latrice Hunter, and Alexandra Masaquel, who combined for 66-percent of the team's 3-pointers last season. W&M has responded by shooting 40.6-percent (43-for-106) from range, which is good for first in the CAA and 21st in the country. Sophomore
Nari Garner leads the team and is 13-of-29 (44.8-perencet) from range this season.
- Senior
Abby Rendle recorded her and W&M's third-ever triple double in the win against East Carolina on Tuesday night with career-highs of 25 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 blocks. Rendle also recorded a triple-double in the win versus East Carolina last season. It was just the sixth triple-double in the country this season. Since not scoring in the opener, Rendle is averaging 16.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 6.7 blocks a game in the next six games.
- Not only is senior
Jenna Green scoring at a higher rate this season, but she is also finding her teammates at a higher clip. The Clifton, Virginia native has been in double-figures in six games and is averaging 11.1 points per game. She has added 47 assists, which is good for 12th in the country, while her 6.7 apg. rank her 18th.
- W&M's new all-time blocks leader senior
Abby Rendle broke the school record with her 256th career block in the game against Davidson. Rendle leads the country with 41 blocks and 5.9 bpg. this season. She is also just 11 blocks away from passing WNBA All-Star Elena Delle Donne's CAA career blocked shot record. Her 263 blocks are the fourth most active in the NCAA currently.
- Junior
Bianca Boggs has had a strong start to the season. She has been the team's leading scorer twice, including setting a career high with 26 points and 11 rebounds against Howard. The Waldorf, Md. native has also added 10 blocks and 16 steals. For the year she is averaging a team-high 14.9 p-
- For the past four seasons, W&M has led the CAA in steals each year. So far this season, the Tribe is doing much of the same. Through seven games, W&M has had 73 thefts, which is first in the CAA and ranks 24th nationally. The Tribe's 10.4 spg. are also first in the CAA and 55th in the NCAA.
