Also had a career-high 35 assists (5th on team) and 21 steals (6th on team) on the year while playing mostly at the 2 and 3 positions on the floor after being a forward (4 or 5) for most of her career ... Made at least one 3-pointer in 18 games, including a season-high four in the Dons' 79-61 win over CSUN (Nov. 16) ... Hit a game-tying 3-pointer with four minutes left in the game, then hit back-to-back free throws with 17 seconds left at Pacific to help USF erase a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit and come from behind to win (Feb. 27) ... Nearly had her first career double-double with nine points and a career-high 10 rebounds in the Dons' comeback win over Sacramento State (Dec. 14) ...
