Sophomore guard Jocelyn Willoughby (East Orange, N.J.) had her third double-digit rebounding game in the last seven games, grabbing 10 boards at FSU with a career-high six offensive rebounds in the game. Willoughby has converted her last 24 free throw attempts, a streak reaching back to the fourth quarter of the Syracuse game (Dec. 31). She did not miss a free throw in the month of January.
Sophomore guard Dominique Toussaint (Staten Island, N.Y.) dished out six assists at Florida State. She is 12th in the ACC in assists per game, averaging 3.8 per contest. Toussaint also scored 12 points at FSU with six rebounds, her highest rebounding total in an ACC contest in her career.
