Senior Mary Cuevas leads the squad with six rejections while five other Tigers have recorded at least one.

Going Deep: Towson heated up from behind the arc versus Pittsburgh, connecting on a season-high nine three-pointers in the game. Junior Danielle Durjan led the Tigers with five triples in the contest while redshirt senior Raine Bankston and sophomore Etalyia Vogt each had two. It was the most three-pointers by the Tigers since they had 10 against UMass Lowell in last year's season opener. Durjan connected on the most triples by a Tiger player since Raven Bankston had five, also in the UMass Lowell game.
