freshman Hannah Lilly pacing the Emory scoring
effort with 15 points. CWRU has won 13 of the series’
18 games played on its home floor.
Emory claims a 27-17 edge in the series vs. Carnegie Mellon that

Jackson totaled a season-high tying 21 points in the
Eagles' game vs. Wash U. on Friday evening, her ninth double-figure
scoring performance of the year ... Jackson then grabbed a
team-high six rebounds against Chicago on Sunday, the ninth time
that she has paced the squad in that department this season ...
Heading into the weekend, Jackson is second on the team and
15th in the UAA in scoring (10.3 ppg) … In
addition, her 6.6 per-game effort in rebounding also stands second
on the squad and is good for the No. 5 spot on the UAA ladder
… Junior Becca Feldman tied her season high
with 14 points on Sunday vs. UC, her fifth double-digit effort of
the year ... Sophomore Danielle Landry, the team leader in
rebounding in four of the past five games, heads into the weekend
with a team-high 7.0 per-game effort in that category, good for the
No. 3 position on the UAA chart … Emory recorded 13 and 14
steals against Wash U. and Chicago, respectively, and has
registered 15 games of 10 or more thefts this season ... Heading
into the weekend, the Eagles have 274 steals to their credit, the
second-highest mark in school history -- just 10 shy of tying the
all-time mark of 284 set by the 1994-95 team … Freshman
Savannah Morgan is sixth among UAA players in
assists (4.0 apg) and fourth in assist/turnover ratio (1.6)
… The Eagles are 18-3 during Thomaskutty’s tenure as
head coach when scoring 80 or more points … Emory has
outshot 10 opponents from the floor this season and stands 9-1 in
those contests … The Eagles have enjoyed an edge in
