Haggerty has scored 14 or more points in three of her last four appearances, averaging 13.3 ppg in that span.

PICKING UP STEALS
Woods has been a core player for SRU on the defensive end this season. The senior transfer from Bethune-Cookman sits with 34 steals on the season, tied with Lexi Carpenter (2015-16) for the 9^th most steals by a transfer in their first year at SRU. Woods has at least one steal in all but one game so far this season. 

On the offensive end, Woods has reach double-digits in points in eight of her last 10 games, averaging 9.7 ppg over that span.
