Anga poured in a career-high 21 points on 57.1 percent shooting, connecting on 8-of-14 shots to help the Celts snap a four-game losing streak and secure their first SCAC in of the season with a 12-point, 56-44, victory at home over Centenary last Friday night. She came up just short of securing her second double-double of the season, grabbing nine rebounds and also two steals and two blocks in 29 minutes of action.

Junior guard Destini Powell of Centenary averaged 17.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 0.5 steals in a pair of tough road losses last weekend for the Ladies.

First-year forward Zoe Tomlinson of Colorado College averaged a double-double while helping CC post a 2-0 record last week. In Tuesday’s 49-41 victory at Nebraska Wesleyan, Tomlinson scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds. During Friday’s 66-52 win against Centenary, the first-year forward recorded her fourth double-double of the season with 14 points and 15 rebounds. In the two victories, Tomlinson shot 11-for-20 from the floor. She leads the Tigers with 109 rebounds for an average of 7.8 per game. First-year guard Demauria Miles of Schreiner led the Mountaineers to a pair of key SCAC victories over Southwestern in a home and home series last weekend. Miles averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.5 steals in the two victories. Schreiner has now knocked off Southwestern in six consecutive regular season competitions.
