No Handouts
After allowing 10-26 (.380) free throws to SC State in the season opener, PC has held their opponents to fewer than 10 made free throws in four consecutive games: West Virginia (7-9), William Peace (7-8), Florida (8-16) and College of Charleston (8-11).

3PT Defense
PC is holding opponents to just .235 (24-102) on 3pt attempts while connecting on .308 (32-104). William Peace sank a season-low 2-15 (.133), and CofC shot just 6-29 (.207) in PC's last game.

Starting Strong
Bria Gibbs is averaging nearly four points more per game with a collegiate-best 9.2 ppg through five games after averaging 5.3 ppg as a freshman. She started the season with 14 points at SC State on a perfect 6-of-6 performance from the floor and added 15 points against CofC on 5-of-7 shooting and 5-of-6 free throws.

New Faces
Head Coach Alaura Sharp added seven new players by the way of two transfers and five freshmen. Redshirt sophomore Briley Buckner has also returned from an injury that kept her from playing last season.

Milestones Ahead
Kacie Hall has 163 career three pointers and needs 34 more to catch 4th place, Janie Miles (2014-18). The senior guard also needs 84 points to reach 1000.
