STORYLINES
Sophomore Madison Hovren notched her fourth straight double-double on Sunday at Loyola and now has 10 on the season. Her 10 double-doubles rank fourth nationally and she is one of just two players across Division I to average at least 20.0 points per game and 10.0 rebounds per game. Hovren comes into the week with a Patriot League-best 20.9 points per game and 10.3 rebounds per game, while Northwestern's Nia Coffey averages 20.8 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game.

Hovren earned Patriot League Player of the Week honors for the second week in a row, and for the fifth time this season on Monday.

Minato also holds the record for career Player of the Week honors (17).
