ON THE ROAD AGAIN: In the midst of a four-game road trip, the Tiger women's basketball team heads north to take on Cornell on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. Links to live stats and video can be found on the schedule page of TowsonTigers.com. Fans can also follow the Tigers on Twitter (

SERIES HISTORY: Towson will face Cornell for the first time ever on Wednesday.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU: Wednesday's game is the third of five straight for the Tigers against teams that they have never faced before this season. The Tigers are no strangers to facing teams from the Ivy League however. Towson is 4-3 against Ivy schools, having faced Brown, Harvard, Penn and Princeton before. The Tigers have never faced Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Yale out of the Ivy. Â
SHE DOESN'T ACT LIKE A ROOKIE: For the second time in three weeks, freshman guard
Sianni Martin has earned Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Week honors. Martin, who averaged 13.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game last week, is the first Tiger rookie since
Dominique Johnson in 2013 to earn the award multiple times. She also contributed two assists and five steals while shooting 44.7 percent from the field.
THE BIG 1-0-0-0: Senior
Dominique Johnson reached a major career milestone in the team's last game against North Florida. With her jumper with 3:47 left in the first quarter against the Ospreys, Johnson recorded the 1,000th point of her career. She became the 16th member of the 1,000 career point club and the first since
Tanisha McTiller did so in the final game of the 2012-13 season. Johnson became the sixth player in program history to reach the mark in less than 100 games, scoring her 1,000th point in her 90th game.
I'M HONORED: A pair of Tigers were named to the all-tournament team at the UNF Thanksgiving Classic after helping the team finish second. Freshman guard
Sianni Martin averaged 19 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in the two games. She scored a season-high 23 points to go along with six rebounds against Western Illinois. She added 15 points and three steals versus North Florida. Sophomore center
Daijha Thomas contributed 10.5 points and 10 rebounds per game to earn her spot on the all-tournament team. Thomas posted her first career double-double with a career-high 12 points and 12 rebounds against Western Illinois. She followed that up with nine points and eight rebounds versus North Florida.
PILING UP THE POINTS: Towson exploded for 83 points in the win over Western Illinois over the weekend. It was the first time under Head coach
Niki Reid Geckeler that the team scored 80 or more points in a game. It was also the most points scored by a Towson team since the 2006-07 squad scored 83 in a win over Norfolk State.
BANGING THE BOARDS: Towson pulled down a season-high 53 rebounds in Saturday's contest against North Florida. Eight of the 10 Tigers who appeared in the game recorded at least one rebound. That group was led by junior guard
Raven Bankston who had nine boards while sophomore center
Daijha Thomas and freshman forward
Brittany Tarr each had eight rebounds. It was the most rebounds by a Tiger squad in a game since they had 57 at George Mason during the 2013-14 season. Towson has won the rebounding battle in each of the last three games. A large part of that success has been the play of Thomas, who averaged 11.3 rebounds per game last week. Thomas, who leads the CAA while averaging 10.8 rebounds per game, enters play on Tuesday ranked 27th in the nation in rebounds per game.
UP NEXT: Towson wraps up the road trip by visiting Minnesota on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.
