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.

For the year, she is averaging a career-high 6.2 points., 2.4 rebounds., and 3.8 assists per 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, 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 515 wins, Swanson ranks tied as the 31st active head coach in the country in terms of wins, and with 109 wins as head coach of the Tribe, he is third all-time and is 38 away from all-time wins leader Debbie Taylor.
