- W&M and Hofstra meet for the 44th time in series history with the Pride leading 30-12-1 all-time. The Tribe is going after the season sweep after picking up a just its second-ever 60-55 victory in Hempstead in the CAA opener on Friday, Jan. 5.
 
- Prior to today's game, W&M will honor its three seniors – Bianca Boggs, Misha Jones, and Chandler Smith, who will play their final game in Kaplan Arena this afternoon. The trio has helped the Tribe to 64 career victories, which are the second-most in school history.
 
- W&M set a school record for field goal percentage in the setback against Northeastern on Thursday night. The Tribe shot a red-hot 64.3-percent (27-for-42) from the floor in the contest. It was the third time in the last five games W&M shot better than 50-percent. The Tribe has improved its season field goal percentage to 41.4-percent, which ranks second in the league.
 
- Freshman Eva Hodgson tied a school record with her fourth CAA Rookie of the Week Award this week. The freshman joins Kyra Kaylor and Dominique Lewis as the only Tribe players to win the award four times since its inception in the 2002-03 season. Hodgson averaged 16.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in the Tribe's 1-1 week. Senior Bianca Boggs was named CAA Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 31, while freshman Emma Krause was tabbed CAA Rookie of the Week for the week of Dec. 24 to make six weekly awards this season for the Tribe.
 
- W&M played its second overtime game of the season at Drexel on Friday night. Both overtime games have required more than one extra session, as the Tribe is 1-1 in overtime this year. W&M played its first triple-overtime game since Nov. 27, 1999, and has handed Drexel its only two more than one-overtime losses in its program history.
 
- The Green and Gold has eight players - Bianca Boggs, Victoria Reynolds, Eva Hodgson, Harper Birdsong, Gabby Rogers, Nyla Pollard, Emma Krause, and Misha Jones - have all eclipsed the 100-point mark on the season this year. In the previous five seasons under head coach Ed Swanson, only seven players have accomplished this feat in a single-season.
 
- Hodgson has started every game this season and the returns on the rookie point guard have been good. The freshman has been in double-figures in 15 games.  For the season, Hodgson is averaging 9.9 points per game (most among CAA freshman), with 2.9 rebounds, and 3.1 helpers per contest. Hodgson scored a career-high 24 points at UNCW on Feb. 10. Her 82.4-percent from the free throw line ranks her fourth in the CAA, while her 1.2 assists/turnover ratio is good for seventh.
 
- Boggs has been in double-figures in 24 of 28 games this season and has accomplished that feat in 49 of her last 58 contests. Boggs was selected to the Preseason All-CAA First-Team after a breakout junior season. The senior captain leads the team with 17.1 points per night and has added 7.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per night. The senior has turned in 16 20-point career games, which ranks her tied for sixth all-time in school history. She notched her second career 30-point game with a season-high 32 points at Drexel on March 1. Boggs became the first player in school history to record at least 1000 points, 500 rebounds, and 300 career assists at Delaware on March 3.
 
- The Green and Gold is limiting its opponents to 28.5-percent (139-of-487) from 3-point range this season. W&M limited Drexel to a season-low 7-percent (2-for-28) from 3-point range in the win on Friday. The Tribe ranks third in the league in the category, but that is also good enough for 41st nationally.
 
- W&M has moved its free throw percentage back to first in the CAA shooting 74.5-percent from the stripe and ranks 39th in the country. The Tribe shot a perfect 16-for-16 from the line at James Madison on Jan. 25, which was the first time the Tribe was perfect from the line (minimum 8 attempts) since 2016.
 
- The Green and Gold is hitting 3-pointers at the highest clip under Ed Swanson this season and has had five, or more, 3-pointers in 25 of its 28 games. W&M ranks first in the CAA hitting 7.4 3-pointers per game. That mark is two more than the next best average in the six-years under Swanson. As a team, the Tribe is hitting 35.1-percent from range, which is second in the CAA, and 52nd in the NCAA. Furthermore, W&M has hit more than 10 3-pointers in six games this season.
 
- Sophomore Bailey Eichner has seen her role increase over the last couple of weekends. For the season, she is averaging 0.7 points and 1.4 rebounds per game in 18 games this season.  She scored a career-high five points against James Madison and then played a career-high 16 minutes at Delaware during the past two weeks.
