Scored a season-high nine points - all in the first half - against the Yellow Jacked by making all four of her FG attempts and converting a three-point play.

Extremely efficient from the floor in a four-game early-December span from Georgia Tech to Montana State, hitting a combined 12-of-17 (.706) FGs during that quartet of contests.

Solid and consistent contributor on the boards during non-conference play...five or more rebounds in five of the last eight pre-league games.

Posted her SEC-high for rebounds of five boards three times - against Arkansas, Tennessee (in Athens) and Ole Miss (in Athens).

Produced her most points in SEC play (six) all in the first half against Florida in Gainesville.

2010-11 Season

Logged a career-high 24 minutes against Florida in Athens and provided a solid rebounding effort after the Gators dominated the boards early.

Scored five points in a span of just 25 seconds in the second half at LSU, trimming a 36-30 lead down to one in the process.

Stepped up her SEC contributions since earlier in the conference campaign. After averaging 1.3 ppg and 2.3 rpg in first three SEC contests, chipped in 5.8 ppg and 5.2 rpg in last 10 regular-season outings.

Knocked down a pair of free throws with 5.9 seconds left at Ole Miss on Feb. 13 to ice the victory.

2009-10 Season

Missed the first 10 games of the season for personal reasons before returning to log playing time in 13 outings.

Knocked down her first field goal attempt - following a nice catch on a nifty pass from Jasmine James - with 1:25 left in the Detroit game.

Continued her impressive per-minute production with four points and three rebounds in four minutes of PT at Savannah State.
