• Sophomore Mary Sheehan added 13 points in a reserve role versus the Dukes, one point shy of her career-high 14 that she set at George Washington earlier this month.
• Senior Alyssa Monaghan was named Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week and the Big 5 Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 23.5 points per game in a pair of SJU wins last week.
• Additionally, Monaghan enters Sunday atop the A-10 leaderboard in three-point shooting percentage at .391 (54-138).
