 - W&M and Delaware will meet for the 35th time in series history on Friday night in Williamsburg. The Blue Hens lead the all-time series 26-8, including winning both games a season ago. Sophomore Eva Hodgson was the Tribe's leading scorer against the Blue Hens last year as she scored 14.0 points per game and had 3.0 assists per game. Senior Victoria Reynolds was in double-figures averaging 10.0 points per game.
 
- Three times in the last six games, both senior Victoria Reynolds and sophomore Eva Hodgson had at least 20 points in a game when the duo each had 23 versus Hofstra. Previously that feat had not been accomplished in a season and a half. Furthermore, both are climbing up the single-season 20-point performance chart as Hodgson moves into a tie for 10th all-time (in the Division I era) with seven 20-point games and Reynolds is closing in with her four 20-point performances this season.
 
- For the ninth time in under head coach Ed Swanson W&M shot better than 55% in a contest when it shot 58% against Charleston. The Tribe's 58.3% field goal percentage at VCU, the season-high, ranks tied for seventh under Swanson and is the seventh-best in school history. For the season, the Tribe is shooting 44.2%, which is tops in the CAA and ranks 48th nationally.
 
- Because of its strong field goal percentage, W&M has also been scoring the ball at a high clip. The Tribe has scored, at least, 70 points in nine of its 17 contests this year, and only less than 60 three times. The Green and Gold is averaging 69.7 points per game this season, which leads the CAA.
 
- Following her CAA Rookie of the Year honor last season, sophomore Eva Hodgson has picked up where she left off and has been the Tribe's leading scorer in all but two games. After scoring the most points in the Division I era in a season opener (27), Hodgson reset her career-high with 29 points at Richmond. She is averaging 19.2 points per game, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. Hodgson's 19.2 points per game is good for third in the CAA and 29th nationally, while she is leading the conference and ranked 46th in the NCAA in field goal percentage at 54.5%. The sophomore has been in double-figures in 18 straight games, which is tied for the longest streak in Division I school history, dating back to last year and has seven 20-point performances this year, including four of the last six games.
 
- Senior Victoria Reynolds has been turning it on since the George Washington game. She has been in double-figures in the six of the last seven contests and is averaging 17.4 points per game during that stretch and notched her second double-double of the season against Hofstra. A Preseason All-CAA Honorable Mention selection, Reynolds is second on the team averaging 14.9 points per game and leads the team with 6.5 rebounds a night. She has been in double-figures in 51 career games and has scored 1,043 career points.
 
 - Junior Bailey Eichner has enjoyed her enhanced role during her junior campaign and is off to a career start. Eichner first scored a career-high 11 points in the win at East Carolina, before adding a career-high nine rebounds at George Washington. Against ODU, Eichner tied or set career-highs with three assists, three steals, and four blocks. The Cudahy, Wisc. native has been the first Tribe post player off of the bench in each contest, and in her new role is averaging 3.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. More impressively, Eichner is averaging 13.6 rebounds per 40 minute game.
 
- W&M head coach Ed Swanson became the 69th head coach in Division I history to win his 500th career game against Hartford on Nov. 23. Now at 507 wins, Swanson ranks as the 33rd active head coach in the country in terms of wins. With 101 wins as head coach of the Tribe is third all-time and is 46 away from all-time wins leader Debbie Taylor.
