Sophomore Madison Hovren notched her third straight double-double on Thursday against Lafayette and now has nine on the season. Her nine double-doubles rank fifth nationally and she is one of just four players across Division I to average at least 20.0 points per game and 10.0 rebounds per game (21.1 points per game, 10.3 rebounds per game). (Kristine Anigwe, California -- 23.4, 10.2; Nia Coffey, Northwestern -- 20.6, 11.6; Kaylee Jensen, Oklahoma State -- 20.1, 10.4).
Army enters the weekend ranking in the top 10 nationally in three categories. The Black Knights stand third in turnovers forced (24.50), fifth in turnover margin (+9.07), and sixth in steals per game (13.3).

The Black Knights lead the Greyhounds, 8-4, in an all-time series dating back to Nov. 23, 2008. Army has won seven straight against Loyola, with its seven-game winning streak starting in 2013-14, when Loyola joined the Patriot League.
