◊ Named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

◊ Led Georgia in average assists (3.4) and steals (2.7) for the second consecutive season.

◊ With another such effort as a senior, would join an elite group who have led the Lady Bulldogs in those statistics for three straight years - Teresa Edwards from 1984-86, Kelly Miller from 1998-2001 and Ashley Houts from 2008-10.

◊ Among league leaders, finished ranked No. 24 in scoring, tied for No. 2 in steals, No. 4 in minutes played, No. 6 in assists and No. 7 in assist-to-turnover ratio.

◊ Failed to qualify for SEC statistical leaders for conference games only due to missing five contests with a sprained knee.

◊ Flirted with a triple-double in the opener against TCU...there have only been two triple-doubles in Lady Bulldog history - Teresa Edwards in 1985 and Tracy Henderson in 1995.

◊ Named SEC Player of the Week on Nov. 21 after averaging 13.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.7 steals during a trio of victories over Georgia Southern, College of Charleston and Southern Cal.

◊ Sprained the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) in her right knee in the Montana State game on Dec. 20 but played the remainder of the contest. Subsequently missed the next two outings.

◊ Returned to action for the first five SEC games before "tweaking" her right knee with 6:02 left in the first half at Mississippi State on Jan. 15.

◊ Did not dress for the next four games. Dressed out and warmed up for the Mississippi State game in Athens but kept her warm-ups on the entire contest.

◊ Expected to return to action at Alabama on Feb. 5 but did so earlier than anticipated when Meredith Mitchell was injured (knot on head) just 2:21 into the game.

◊ Went on to score a season-high 18 points against the Crimson Tide.

◊ Became the 32nd Lady Bulldog to surpass 1,000 career points with 7:42 left in the second half at South Carolina on Feb. 16.

◊ Moved past No. 31 Saudia Roundtree among UGA's career scoring leaders against Marist. James is the first Lady Bulldog to wear "No. 10" since Roundtree's 1996 National Player of the Year campaign.

◊ Led Georgia offensively a team-best 14 times, including 11 of the last 23 contests.

◊ Along with Khaalidah Miller, had a team-best three 20-point scoring games - against Indiana, versus Louisiana Tech and at Florida.

◊ Named to the all-tournament team at the FIU Fun & Sun Classic after playing 80 minutes - in a span of 22 hours - and averaging team bests of 19.0 ppg, 5.0 apg and 3.0 spg.

◊ Scored 16 points in the final 15:50 against Florida in Athens as the Lady Bulldogs rallied from a 16-point deficit to secure a six-point victory.

◊ Missed the Alabama game in Athens to allow a sprained right wrist - originally suffered at No. 20 Arkansas - time to heal. Was available against the Crimson Tide but enjoyed the day off after Georgia raced to a 10-0 lead and maintained a comfortable margin throughout.

◊ Her "DNP" against Alabama was the first of her career and snapped a streak of 55 straight starts.

◊ Pleased a vocal group of about 40 family and friends - including a large contingent from Bartlett High School - with a game-high 19 points at Ole Miss.

◊ Scored 11 straight second-half points against Middle Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, including hitting both ends of three one-and-ones.
