I'll Take That: Towson grabbed 14 steals in Sunday's game versus College of Charleston. The Tigers have now recorded 20 steals in the last two games combined. Ten of the 11 Tigers that have appeared in a conference game so far have at least one steal.

Miss Assist: Towson redshirt senior guard Raine Bankston has 24 assists this season after handing out three during the opening weekend of CAA play. That raised Bankston's career assists total as a Tiger to 176 assists in 72 games. She enters play this weekend ranked 24th in Towson history for career assists. Bankston needs 17 more assists to move into the top 20 for career assists at Towson.
