Heaton Makes All-Tournament Team

Lindsey Heaton earned Guilford College Classic All-Tournament Team honors for her performance over the weekend.
The sophomore guard racked up 26 points, six rebounds and five assists in the two games of the Guilford College Classic.
Heaton's 17 points in the game against Bridgewater are the second-most that she has scored in a single game.
Her career-high 19 points came in a matchup against University of Mount Union, in the second game of the 2015-16 season.
Both of Heaton's top two point performances came in the second game of the past two seasons.
Her six made field goals are her second-highest single-game total.

Cleary Continues to Impress

In the first two games of the season Danielle Cleary scored a combined 47 points.
Her 47 points in the first two games of this season are the most since Marcia Coakley '09 scored 56 to start the 2006-07 season.
Cleary leads the Soaring Eagles in points (55), minutes (118), steals (7) and blocks (2).
The junior guard is the main source of offense for the Purple and Gold as she averages 19.3 shots per game.
With two 20-point games already this season, Cleary now has 17 in her career.
Cleary now has 235 career free-throws and has passed Maria Thannhauser '14 (232) for fourth-place all-time.
She ranks fourth in the Empire 8 Conference with 18.3 points per game.

Rebounding Help

Forward Emily Breheny had a strong performance over the weekend, with two points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
Breheny now leads the team in rebounds with 5.7 rebounds per game on the season.
This production will be important as the season continues, as she is the tallest player on the roster at 6-feet tall.
Not to be left out, Rachel Vespucci grabbed a career-high nine rebounds in the matchup against the Quakers.
The Purple and Gold will look for this productivity to continue, as the sophomore forward is playing almost double the amount of minutes in her second season.
