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 five consecutive games: West Virginia (7-9), William Peace (7-8), Florida (8-16), College of Charleston (8-11) and Wofford (4-7).

3PT Defense
After holding opponents to just .235 (24-102) on 3pt attempts through the first five games, Wofford connected on .600 (9-15) on Tuesday against PC to raise the average to .282.

Block Party
Freshman Tionna Carter leads the team with seven blocks on the season. She filled up the stat sheet against Wofford with seven points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals last time out.

Keep An Eye On
Trinity Johnson led the team with 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 31.6 minutes per game over the final 10 games of last season. Over that span, she also sank 75-99 free throws (.750). Johnson (13.7 ppg) has led the team in scoring four times this season.

Starting Strong
Bria Gibbs is averaging nearly three points more per game with a collegiate-best 8.2 ppg through six 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.

Big South Honors
Kacie Hall was named to the Big South Preseason All-Conference Second Team. The senior guard averaged 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game last year while leading the Big South with a .415 three-point field goal percentage.

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 166 career three pointers and needs 31 more to catch 4th place, Janie Miles (2014-18). The senior guard also needs 75 points to reach 1000.
