This sophomore guard from New Jersey has been a key component of Toledo’s success this season. At its previous game against Southern Miss, she had a career game, scoring her highest amount of points this season with 20, to go along with eight field goals made and a whopping 15 total rebounds.
She is just behind the leading scorer for the team, with a 12.1 per game average. She also has a field-goal percentage of 48.8%, despite only making 20% of her 3 point shots. She also has an impressive free-throw percentage of 76.2%. Rebounding is where she shines, getting around 6.6 boards per game. She gets most of her boards defensively, getting 4.7 defensive rebounds per game. Rebounding is one of Ohio’s biggest troubles, so preventing her from pulling frequent boards will be a key to the Bobcats winning this matchup.
