In the last outing, senior Erin Ferrell led the Deacs with her second consecutive double-double (10p/10r), making her the only current Wake Forest player with three career double-doubles. Additionally, she is the first player since Eafton Hill in 2001 to earn consecutive double-doubles. Also against the Tigers, junior Cotelia Bond-Young added a game-high 23 points, five boards and three assists, while Liz Strunk added 14 points and six boards.
Stetson will enter the game coming off a 70-64 season opening victory over Behune-Cookman. Against the Lady Wildcats, four Hatters notched double figures and forced 14 turnovers.
