TRIBE NOTES

• The Matchup
William & Mary hits the road for the first time in the new calendar year, squaring off with Stony Brook on Long Island to begin the second weekend of CAA play. The game is set for 7 p.m. Friday on FloCollege as well as SNY for fans in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Northeast Pa.
 
• The Opponent
Stony Brook enters the second weekend of conference play at 6-7, 1-1 CAA. The Seawolves cruised to a 21-point win over Northeastern last Friday before losing by 14 to Monmouth on Sunday. They come into this weekend's action third in the nation in defending the 3-pointer (23.3%) and committing the third least fouls in the country.
 
• Last Time Out
Five extra minutes were required to settle a back-and-forth battle between the Tribe and Elon on Sunday. Despite holding an 11-point lead with five minutes to play, the Tribe was unable to hang on losing 70-66. Bella Nascimento scored a career-high 24 for W&M and was joined in double figures by Cassidy Geddes (11) and Kayla Rolph (15).
 
• Punching the Time Clock
Due to the game going to overtime, 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. Jana Sallman also played a career-high 31 minutes.
 
• Tika Time
Jana 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 four games. Rolph is averaging 13.4 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 13 games in 2024-25. The Tribe has had five different players miss time with injury this year for a total of 17 games. Natalie Fox (7), Alexa Mikeska (3), Kayla Beckwith (3), Rebekah Frisby-Smith (2) and Anahi Cauley (2) is the group who makes up those absences.
 
• Starting Strong
The first quarter has no doubt been the strong suit of the Tribe through 13 games, outscoring opponents 196-161 in the frame.

• Everyone Shares
Six different players had three-or-more assists for W&M in the win over Hampton Friday, aiding the team to a season-high 22 helpers on 33 makes. W&M currently ranks 35th in the nation in assist percentage with 63.8% 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 10 of 13 games this year with three 20-plus point performances. Her career-high 24 against Elon replaced her previous career-high of 23 that ironically 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 3-22 when held below 60 under Davis.
