Jan. 21 in front of family and friends on the road at Elon, became the 11th Wildcat in program history to score 1,000 points for a career when the senior recorded first double-double of the season (20 pts./10 rebs.) in a 50-40 Wildcat win... Closed out month of December scoring in double figures five of the seven games as she averaged 11.1 points and 4.9 rebounds, while pacing the team in three-pointers made (13) and assists (23)... At the Carolina First Classic, senior combined for 15 points and 16 rebounds in helping the Wildcats to wins over host UNC Asheville and Georgia State to take home the tournament title.

Exploded for 13 first-half points on 5-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-7 from downtown, in leading the Wildcats to a 12-point win over Wofford on Jan. 26 at Belk Arena... Recorded a game for the record books on Jan. 12 when the senior sharp-shooter tied a school record with six three-pointers and scored a personal-best 18 points in leading the 'Cats to an 80-65 win over App. State... One of four players to score in double figures with a game-high 13 points, all coming in the second half, in leading Davidson to a 68-63 win over Winthrop.
