She finished her year with a career high 35-point performance on 13-for-22 shooting from the field (including 8-for-13 from 3-point range) to lead Sewanee to a 100-86 victory.

Rose Scott
In the Presidents' Athletic Conference semifinal against Grove City, Scott scored 10 of Bethany's final 15 points and assisted on another basket to help the Bison erase a three-point deficit with five minutes to play and pull out a 50-41 victory. Two nights later Scott scored 24 points, pulled down eight rebounds, handed out six assists and had four steals in Bethany's 62-52 victory against Washington & Jefferson in the PAC championship.

Qiana Young
Young scored 34 points on 12-for-14 shooting from the field and 10-for-10 from the foul line in the Highlanders' season-ending 77-72 loss at Webster.

Widener trailed by as many as 11 points in the second half against Lycoming and DeLuca, who finished with 16 points, scored seven of the team's final 10 points in the last two minutes of the game. DeLuca lit up for 18 second half points against Lebanon Valley in the semifinals en route to scoring a team-high 20 points. He hit 71.4 percent from the field (10-for-14) and was 6-for-8 from the foul line.

Coon finishes the season 157-for-163 (96.3 percent) from the charity stripe. His 1,782 career points are good for fifth place on the Illinois Wesleyan all-time scoring list.
