Earned her second weekly honor the week of Oct. 28, in which she scored four points in two games on the week ... Ranked second on the team with 18 points, which was tied for most points by a freshman in the conference ... Scored five goals overall, third-highest on the squad, including her first career goal against VCU ... Led the team in assists with eight, including two in both the VCU and Stanford games ...
