HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR
Summah Evans' length has been a problem for teams this year. She is 2nd in the nation with 13 steals, good for first in the ASUN. Her seven steals vs. Warner was one shy of a UNF DI-era single game record.

"ALLY-OOP"
Ally Knights' assists numbers are freakish this year. She's averaging a staggering 9.0 assists/game, good for the most in the ASUN and third in the NCAA. Her 20 assists broke the previous UNF record (13), and was three assists short of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball record.

She has 27 assists, the most in NCAA Division I ball.

BULLS-EYE
Sharpshooter Rhetta Moore flexed her long-range muscles last week, converting 12 of 20 3PT FGs. Her 60.0 3 PT FG percentage is second in the league and 38th in NCAA Division I play. She's also made the fifth most three-pointers in Division I.

MARKSMEN
UNF led the ASUN and finished 18th in three-point field goal percentage a year ago. The Ospreys had three players finish in the top five in that category, with another being Jaida Bond, a current Osprey. 

Erin Jones led the league with a 43.8 percent mark. The Ospreys finished 10th in the nation with 238th three-point field goals last year, a program record.

HARD IN THE PAINT
Emma Broermann finished with 24 points against Warner, just two shy of her career high. Broermann leads the ASUN in free throw attemps and free throws made. She's sixth in the league in rebounds, while teammate Jazz Bond is first in the league and 31st in Division I with 28.
