TRIBE NOTES

• The Matchup
William & Mary wraps up a northeast swing when they head to Monmouth on Sunday afternoon. The Tribe will look to salvage a win from the roadtrip with tip at 2 p.m. on FloCollege and SNY.
 
• The Opponent
Monmouth enters Sunday's game riding back-to-back wins. After dropping their CAA opener the Hawks rebounded with a 14-point win over Stony Brook and a 55-53 win at Towson on Friday. Currently 7-7, Monmouth is 5-2 at home on the season. W&M and the Hawks split their two meetings last year with the away side winning both.
 
• Last Time Out
Stony Brook used runs throughout the game to keep a comfortable distance from the Tribe on Friday night on Long Island, earning a 66-48 win. W&M was led by Bella Nascimento's 14 points while Cassidy Geddes had 10. Nascimento made all three of the Tribe's triples in the game.
 
• Punching the Time Clock
Due to the game vs. Elon going to OT, and an already shorthanded W&M squad, Erin Dickerson Davis played four players 40-plus minutes against Elon. Cassidy Geddes (41), Bella Nascimento (41), Kayla Rolph (41) and Rebekah Frisby-Smith (40) all played more than a regulation game. Tika Sallman also played a career-high 31 minutes.
 
• Taking Care of the Rock
The silver lining for the Tribe in the loss at Stony Brook was a season-low eight turnovers on the night. The eight giveaways tie for second least during Erin Dickerson Davis' tenure. W&M had seven giveaways against Hofstra in the 2023 CAA Tournament.
 
• Tika Time
Tika Sallman stole the show in W&M's 71-52 win over Hampton last Friday with 20 points and 17 rebounds in her first college start. The Cairo, Egypt native posted W&M's first 17-plus rebound game since 2017 and the first 20 and 15 game for the Tribe since Abby Rendle had 25 and 17 to go with 10 blocks in a triple-double effort on 11/21/17 at ECU. Sallman's 17 boards were four more than any other player in the CAA had on the opening night of conference action.
 
• Rolph Heating Up
Thanks to 13 points against Hampton and 15 vs. Elon, Kayla Rolph posted back-to-back double figure games for just the second time in her career. The junior has found her touch as of late, scoring 10-plus in three of the last five games. Rolph is averaging 12.3 ppg over that span after scoring just 2.1 over the season's first nine games.
 
• All Good Streaks Come to an End
The overtime loss to Elon on Sunday was the Tribe's first-ever extra session loss under Erin Dickerson Davis. W&M was victorious in five straight OT games prior to Sunday including four during Davis' first season in 2022-23. The Tribe picked up a win in their only overtime game last year vs. Delaware.
 
• Injury Bug
After a year in which injuries were few and far between for the Tribe, the injury bug has caught up with them through 14 games in 2024-25. The Tribe has had five different players miss time with injury this year for a total of 18 games. Natalie Fox (7), Kayla Beckwith (4), Alexa Mikeska (3), Rebekah Frisby-Smith (2) and Anahi Cauley (2) is the group who makes up those absences.
• Everyone Shares
Six different players had three-or-more assists for W&M in the win over Hampton, aiding the team to a season-high 22 helpers on 33 makes. W&M currently ranks 47th in the nation in assist percentage with 62.1% of the Tribe's buckets being assisted. That's good for second best in the CAA behind Drexel.
 
• Finally Home Again
From Nov. 29 until Jan. 3 the Tribe did not play a game at home. The 35 straight days without a home game is the fifth longest stretch in DI all year.
 
• Road Warriors
Last season W&M began CAA play on the road with back-to-back wins on its way to tying the program record for conference road victories at six. The Tribe is 8-4 under Erin Dickerson Davis on CAA "road weekends", when they play both Friday and Sunday away. Last season W&M posted a 5-1 mark on such weekends.
 
• Ballin' Bella
Preseason All-CAA selection Bella Nascimento has lived up to the hype so far for W&M, posting double figures in 11 of 14 games this year with three 20-plus point performances. Her career-high 24 against Elon replaced her previous career-high of 23 came in the regular season finale vs. Stony Brook last year.
.
• Newfound Height
The Tribe adds six new players to the roster in 2024-25, four freshmen and two transfers. Five of the six newcomers are over 6-feet tall. The average height of the six new players is slightly over 6'1, while the average height of the eight returners is 5'9.
 
• Speaking of Height...
Freshman Natalie Fox is the Tribe's tallest newcomer, as well as tallest player, this season at 6-foot-4. She is the tallest player W&M has had since Abby Rendle, also at 6-foot-4, who graduated in 2018.
 
• Full House in College Park
The sellout crowd of 17,950 at XFINITY Center to watch No. 8 Maryland and W&M on 12/19 made it the highest attended game that the Tribe has ever played.
 
• Coach E Extended
W&M Director of Athletics, Brian Mann, announced in late August that head coach Erin Dickerson Davis had agreed to a contract extension through 2029. Through two seasons Davis became the fastest coach to 20 CAA wins in program history and fastest to 30 career wins in 95 years.
 
• 60 is the Magic Number
60 points is a key number for W&M. The Tribe is 20-6 under Erin Dickerson Davis when holding teams below 60. While team's have had a mixed bag of success scoring in the 60s vs. W&M, opponents are 32-4 against them when scoring 70+ since 2020-21. Offensively, the Tribe is 34-13 when scoring over 60 and 3-23 when held below 60 under Davis.
