The Madisonville, Ky. native recorded a season-high 25 points to go with eight rebounds and one steal against UT Martin. She knocked down 10-of-17 from the field and finished the game with three triples.

Earlier in the week, she finished with 12 points against Murray State, including hitting a crucial shot with 21 seconds left to help the Lady Tigers get the win.
