- W&M and Delaware meet for 36th time in series history on Sunday afternoon in Newark. Delaware leads the all-time series 26-9, but the Tribe is going for the regular season sweep as it topped the Blue Hens 68-58 in Williamsburg just under a month ago. Sophomore Eva Hodgson scored a game-high 28 points in the victory, while senior Victoria Reynolds had 17 points, three rebounds, and five assists and junior Gabby Rogers finished with 10 points. Both Nicole Enabosi and Jasmine Dickey finished with 18 points apiece for UD.
 
- The Green and Gold's 18 wins are already the fourth best single-season mark in school history. W&M has a pair of 20 win seasons in 1993-94 and 2016-17 and also won 19 games during the 2006-07 season.
 
- For the fifth time this season, W&M hit the 80-point mark in its win over Northeastern last Friday. In its wins over Elon and Charleston, the Tribe scored 80 in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 2 and Dec. 5, 2017. The Green and Gold is now 21-2 when reaching the mark under head coach Ed Swanson.
 
- Sophomore Eva Hodgson was named the CAA Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 10. The sophomore had previously been named honorable mention player of the week twice this season. W&M has been honored seven times this year by the CAA as senior Victoria Reynolds was player of the week for the week of Dec. 9, while freshman Bre Bellamy has been named the rookie of the week three times. Additionally, Hodgson was named to the @NCAAWBB Starting Five team of the week for the week of Feb. 3. 
 
- Hodgson's breakout sophomore season as seen her score in double-figures in 24 of 25 games. She became just the ninth player in school history with multiple 30-point performances in the same season and is just the second player in school history with back-to-back 30-point games. Hodgson joins Taysha Pye as the only other woman in W&M lore to score two 30-point games in her first two years. Now with 13 20-point games, is tied for third in school history for 20-point games in a single-season. 
- Furthermore, Hodgson has been the Tribe's leading scorer in all but four games. After scoring the most points in the Division I era in a season opener (27), Hodgson then scored the most points in W&M's DI era when she scored career-high 34 points at Elon. She is averaging 20.2 points per game, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. She leads the conference with 20.2 points per game (10th in the NCAA), 55.4% from the field (27th in the NCAA), and 91.9% (third in the NCAA). 
 
- This month, the William & Mary women's basketball team will be participating in the Play4Kay National Free Throw Challenge with all of their CAA conference mates. Fans can make a donation or a one-time pledge for each Tribe free throw during February. More info is available on TribeAthletics.com.
 
- Another key to the Tribe's success this season is getting at least three players in double-figures. W&M has posted a 13-1 mark when three players reach the double-figure plateau, including the win against Northeastern on Feb. 14. The lone loss came on Friday night in the overtime setback to Drexel.
 
- 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 in January. 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 45.1%, which is tops in the CAA and ranks 19th nationally.
 
- Senior Victoria Reynolds has been turning it on since the George Washington game. She has been in double-figures in the last eight games and is averaging 16.3 points per game during that stretch and has two double-doubles as well. A Preseason All-CAA Honorable Mention selection, Reynolds is second on the team averaging 15.4 points per game (sixth in the CAA) and leads the team with 6.3 rebounds a night. She has been in double-figures in 59 career games and has scored 1,163 career points. 
 
- Junior Bailey Eichner has enjoyed her enhanced role during her junior campaign and earned four straight starts from Jan. 24 to Feb. 7. Earlier this season, she scored a career-high 11 points in the win at East Carolina, before adding a career-high nine rebounds at George Washington. The Cudahy, Wisc. is averaging 3.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. 
 
- Sophomore Sydney Wagner has also provided valuable depth for the Tribe all season long. Wagner is averaging 10.0 points per game over the last six and is averaging 9.1 points per game in league action. For the season, the redshirt sophomore is averaging 8.6 points a night, and hitting 32.8% from range. 
 
- Usually tasked with guarding the opponent's best offensive threat, junior Nyla Pollard has had a breakout year on the offensive end of the floor. On Feb. 14, the junior tied a career-high with 14 points in the win over Northeastern and is averaging 6.7 ppg. in CAA play. For the year, she is averaging a career-high 6.1 ppg., 2.4 rpg., and 3.8 apg. 
 
- 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, before becoming just the third W&M coach to win 100 career games with the Tribe against Charleston last month. To continue a milestone-driven season for Swanson, he was announced as an inductee to the Northeast Conference Hall of Fame in late January. Now at 513 wins, Swanson ranks tied as the 31st active head coach in the country in terms of wins, and with 107 wins as head coach of the Tribe he is third all-time and is 40 away from all-time wins leader Debbie Taylor.
