Guard Raven Bankston averaged 17 points per game last year against the Pride, while center Daijha Thomas has a team-best 23 rebounds in four games versus Hofstra.

It Takes a Mountain (Aka Total Team Effort): Towson demonstrated on Sunday afternoon that good things can happen when the whole team contributes. The Tigers saw nine of the ten players who appeared in the  game score at least two points. Leading that group was senior guard Raven Bankston, redshirt junior guard Raine Bankston and sophomore guard Sianni Martin. That trio each scored a team-high 11 points. Towson also had nine of the ten players grab at least one rebound in the contest. Junior forward Mary Cuevas corralled a season-high 13 rebounds against the Dukes to lead the way.

Clearing The Glass: Towson has turned up the intensity in the rebounding battle and the result has been the Tigers having two of their best rebounding games of the season. After grabbing a season-high 50 rebounds at Northeastern on Friday, Towson had 45 rebounds against James Madison. All 10 Tigers that have seen time in the last two games have recorded at least one rebound during that stretch. Junior forward Mary Cuevas and redshirt junior forward Jordyn Smith are averaging a team-high 7.5 rebounds per game over the last two contests. Cuevas pulled down a season-high 13 rebounds against the Dukes while Smith had a career-high 12 boards against the Huskies.

Let's Make It Raine: Towson redshirt junior guard Raine Bankston turned in a huge performance in the win over James Madison. Bankston tallied 11 points to go along with eight rebounds, seven steals and four assists. Her 11 points were tied for the team-lead and it was the sixth time this season she has scored in double figures. Her eight rebounds all came on the defensive end and tied her season and career-high. The seven steals were a career-high for Bankston. Her four assists marked the 11th time this season she has recorded multiple assists in a contest.

I'll Take That: Towson continues to find ways to get its hands on the ball. The Tigers had 10 steals against James Madison on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers have now recorded double digit steals 10 times this season. Last year the Tigers recorded double digit steals 11 times in 31 games. The Tigers enter play this weekend leading the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) while averaging 11.2 steals per game. The Tigers rank 28th nationally in that category.

She is 13th nationally for steals per game and 20th for total steals.
