In games against Portland State and San Diego State, Papahronis averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and two assists on 40 percent shooting off the bench. Papahronis reached double figures for the first time in her second career game, with 12 points on 50 percent (three-for-six) shooting from the field in the win over Portland State on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Defensively, she added three rebounds and her first-career steal.
 
She followed with another double-digit scoring performance at San Diego State on Saturday, Nov. 16, finishing with a team-high 15 points in 33 minutes of action.
