- The William & Mary women's basketball team looks to get back into the win column as it starts Colonial Athletic Association play on Friday, Dec. 29 at College of Charleston. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
 
-  W&M opens its conference slate with its first two games on the road for the second straight season and third time in four seasons. Under coach Swanson, the Tribe is 2-2 in its conference openers, but it has won its last two CAA openers.
 
- The Tribe has shot, at least, 45-percent in six of its 11 games, including accomplishing the feat in  four of the last six games. Furthermore, W&M has shot 50-percent, or better, in three games. For the season, the Green and Gold ranks 26th in the country at 46.3-percent.
 
- After losing its top two scorers from last season, W&M has put, at least, three players in double-figures in all 11 games this season. Seniors Jenna Green and Abby Rendle as well as junior Bianca Boggs lead the team with nine double-digit performances. Sophomores Victoria Reynolds (seven times) and Nari Garner (three times) 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 38.4-percent (66-for-172) from range, which is good for first in the CAA and 27th in the country. Sophomore Nari Garner leads the team and is 20-of-46 (43.5-perencet) from range this season.
 
- 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 nine games and is averaging 11.7 points per game. She has added 72 assists, which is good for 19th in the country, while her 6.6 apg. rank her 16th.
 
- W&M's and the CAA's new all-time blocks leader senior Abby Rendle broke the school record with her 256th career block in the game against Davidson, and then topped the league's record with her 274th career block versus ODU. Rendle is second in the country with 55 blocks, but her 5.0 bpg. rank as the nation's best. Her 275 career blocks are also the third-most active blocks in the country. Not only has her shot blocking been impressive, but she is also getting it done offensively. In games she has played more than 10 minutes, she is averaging 16.0 ppg., 9.8 rpg., and 6.0 bpg. She has also been in double-figures in all nine of those contests.
 
- Junior Bianca Boggs has had a strong start to the season. She has been the team's leading scorer four times, and recorded the most points in a game by a CAA player this season when she scored a career-high 33 points at St. Francis (Pa.) on Dec. 2. For the year she is averaging a team-high 16.0 points per game, which is third in the CAA, to go along with 4.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.

- For the past four seasons, W&M has led the CAA in steals each year. So far this season, the Tribe is doing the same.  W&M has 123 thefts, which is second in the CAA and ranks 52nd nationally. The Tribe's 11.2 spg. are first in the CAA and 35th in the NCAA.

- Senior Abby Rendle and freshman Nyla Pollard have accounted for all four of the Tribe's weekly awards this season. The duo helped the Tribe sweep the CAA's weekly awards for the week of Dec. 18. Rendle was named the CAA Player of the Week and Pollard earned the rookie of the week nod. Rendle was also named the CAA Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 27, while Pollard was previously named rookie of the week for the week of Dec. 11.
