Freshman guard Destini Powell (Minden, La.) posted her sixth double-digit scoring effort of the season with 17  and added six rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 34 minutes played. Powell made six of 14 shots from the field and five of 13 from three-point range. Powell ranks second on the team with 10.3 points per game while Frierson is third averaging 9.9. Frierson averages a team-best 7.1 rebounds per game which is good for eighth overall in the SCAC and her 30 offensive rebounds are the third-most in the league. Her .453 field goal percentage ranks seventh and her nine blocked shots are the third-most in the conference. The Ladies rank fifth in the conference averaging 40.6 rebounds per game.
