BRINK OF HISTORY

Sharp would be the fifth player coached by Jen Hoover to join the 1000-point club and the fifth player in program history to have 1000-plus points and 800-plus rebounds in a career.
Her 817 career rebounds are 32nd on the Division I career active leaders list.
AMONG THE NATION'S ELITE
With a back-to-back seven-assist games, Gina Conti now has 107 assists on the season and is averaging 5.4 assists per game.
The Grove City, Ohio native ranks 17th in the nation in total assists and 22nd in the country in assists per game.
