THANK YOU SENIORS: Wednesday marks the final home game for Towson seniors Brianna Taylor and Dominique Johnson. Taylor walked on to the Tiger squad prior to the start of the 2014-15 season. She sat out last year due to NCAA transfer rules but has been a consistent hard worker for the Tigers. She appeared in four games this season and made two starts. Johnson plays in her final home game having firmly cemented her name in the Towson record book. Johnson holds the school record for three-pointers in a single-game and a career as well as becoming the 10th player in program history with atleast 300 career assists among other accolades.

SCOUTING THE DRAGONS: The Dragons have won four of their last five contests following a 69-53 win over William & Mary on Sunday. Jessica Pellechio led Drexel with 21 points and five assists in the win over the Tribe. Sarah Curran is averaging a team-high 15.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Rachel Pearson is posting 11.6 points per game while Meghan Creighton has dished out a team-high 163 assists.

SERIES HISTORY: Towson wraps up its season series with the Dragons Wednesday. The Tigers and Dragons will be meeting for the 70th time in a series that Drexel holds a 50-19 advantage. The Dragons have won 13 straight over the Tigers, including a 56-40 win when the team met in late February. Towson will be looking for its first win in the series since the 2009-10 season.

TWENTY-TWENTY VISION: Towson had a pair of Tigers score 20 points for the second straight game on Sunday. Junior guard Raven Bankston scored a game-high 25 points against Northeastern while senior guard Dominique Johnson added 20 points. It was the ninth time this season Bankston has struck for 20 or more points and the fifth time for Johnson. On Friday night at William & Mary, freshman forward Brittany Tarr had 21 points while junior guard Raven Bankston added 20 points. Tarr scored 20+ points for the first time in her career. It also marked the fourth time this season that the Tigers had two players with 20+ points in the same game. It's also the first time this season that it's happened in back-to-back games.

TARR TIME: Towson freshman forward Brittany Tarr has made the most of her opportunities especially since being inserted in the starting line-up on Feb. 14 against College of Charleston. Tarr pulled down a career-high 10 rebounds on Sunday against Northeastern after scoring a career-high 21 points at William & Mary on Friday. In the four games she has started this season, Tarr is averaging 10.5 points per game while shooting 43.6% from the field. She has also pulled down a team-best 7.8 rebounds per game during that stretch and has added eight blocks.

SWEET 60: Senior guard Dominique Johnson drained a game-high five three-pointers on Sunday against Northeastern. It was the fourth time this season, Johnson has connected on five or more three-pointers in a game. Sunday's performance raised her season total to 60 triples made. Johnson is the first player in school history to make 60 or more three-pointers in two seasons after connecting on 71 triples last year.

LENDING A HELPING HAND: The Tigers did a good job of distributing the basketball against Northeastern. Towson had 16 assists on 26 made baskets in that game. Leading the charge was redshirt sophomore guard Raine Bankston who had seven assists for the second straight game. Bankston's sister, junior guard Raven Bankston and freshman guard Sianni Martin each dished out three assists in the contest. On the season, the Tigers have six players with 10 or more assists and three of those players have 50 or more. Raine Bankston has 64 assists while senior guard Dominique Johnson has 58 helpers.

I'LL TAKE THAT: The Tigers recorded 10 steals in Sunday's contest against Northeastern. Six Tigers posted at least one steal in the game as sophomore center Daijha Thomas led the way with three steals. It was the 11th time this season the Tigers have recorded double digit steals in a game. Towson ranks second in the CAA while averaging 8.7 steals per game. The Tigers' 243 steals are the most by a Tiger squad since the 2011-12 team had 249 swipes.
Eight Tigers have recorded 10 or more steals this season. Junior guard Raven Bankston leads the team with 66 steals.

UP NEXT: Towson returns to action when the CAA Tournament begins on Wednesday, March 9. The Tigers' seed and game time will be determined by the outcome of Wednesday's contests.
