Last Time Out:
The Eagles wrapped up a two-game road trip in Jacksonville as they played UNF and JU. The Eagles would fall to UNF by a score of 73-75 before sweeping the series with Jacksonville with a 65-63 win to maintain sole possession of first place.
Senior Rose Julien leads the team with 12.8 points per game. Julien had her sixth game of 20 or more points as she scored 22 in the loss to UNF and scored four in the win against JU.
Sophomore Tytionia Adderly missed two straight games due to concussion protocol, but is set to return.
Redshirt senior Taylor Grandijan had nine points in the game against UNF and JU. Grandijan is currently averaging 10 points per game. The rare sixth-year senior, who eclipsed 1,100 career points against Lipscomb and now has 1,133, needs three more to pass current video coordinator Stephanie Haas (1135, 2012-16) for seventh most all-time.
Last Thursday, she passed Katie Meador (135) for sole possession of third most games played all-time, and she is four starts shy of passing Adrianne McNally (118) for second most. Additionally, Gradinjan passed Kelsey Jacobson (385) for seventh place in field goals made (390).
Bench Role Sparks:
Redshirt seniors China Dow and Jessica Cattani and redshirt junior Lisa Zderadicka continue providing sparks off the bench.
Dow is averaging 10.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. The Louisville native scored 12 points and grabbed four rebounds as she filled in for Adderly for the remainder of the game against JU.
Cattani only played three minutes against JU, but is averaging seven points per game.
Zderadicka is averaging 7.1 points per game and is tied with Nelson in assists per game (2.8). The Houston Baptist transfer and Vienna, Austria native scored four points and dished four assists.
Return of Adderly vs Grandijan, The Rebound Bout:
In a battle of career rebounds, it has been between two players: Grandijan and Adderly. While Adderly currently leads the team in rebounds per game and total rebounds (193) and Grandijan is third in rebounds per game and fourth in total rebounds (77), it has been a battle of crashing the boards for both players. Grandijan currently sits sixth all-time in career rebounds (464) while Adderly is seventh (448). Both players are intact to pass Kaneisha Atwater (508) in career rebounds.
Offensive Board Outcomes:
After being unable to play in two straight games due to concussion protocol, Adderly is set to return for the game against UNF. Adderly currently has 91 offensive rebounds this season and is also seventh all-time in career offensive rebounds (185) while remaining two away from passing Atwater (186) for sixth all-time. More than likely, the Jupiter native will pass Katie Meador (193; fifth all-time) and Kate Schrader (194; fourth all-time). There is a possibility that Adderly could possibly pass Robyn Swain (236; third all-time) and Adrianne McNally (240; second all-time) by the end of the season, but it is a stretch for her to surpass Sarah Hansen (329) as the all-time leader in career offensive rebounds.
Scouting UNF:
The Ospreys recently competed against Stetson in a losing fashion (51-68) and are currently tied for fifth place in conference.
