  • Junior guard Dominique Toussaint (Staten Island, N.Y.) is closing in on 1,000 career points. She is 8 away from reaching the milestone and becoming the 36th member of the 1,000 point club. Willoughby scored her 1,000th career point in the third quarter of the Louisville game on Feb. 21
  • Junior forward Lisa Jablonowski (Ernster, Luxembourg) had her second double-double of the season on Sunday at Notre Dame, matching her career high with 17 points while also grabbing 10 rebounds
