• Angela Starre has quickly proved that she has not missed a beat as she is averaging 14.0 ppg and 8.2 rpg, since returning from Austria.

Scouting D'Youville

• A big reason behind their recent success has been the emergence of Freshman Sara Pfeiffer, she has only played in the Spartans last three games, but is averaging 23.7 ppg, including 34 in their last victory against Pitt.-Bradford. She made a program record 10 threes in the game.
• Sophomore Danielle Hore has been the Spartans most consistent scorer all season long as she averages 11.9 ppg. She also made history in their last game with a triple double of 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Hore is third in the conference at 4.8 apg.
