First-year forward Emily Naccarato (St. Catharines) leads the team averaging 16 points, while veterans Alyssa McCabe (15), Courtney McPherson (15), Miranda Ross (13), and Kaitlyn McPherson (9.5) round out the Knights offensive attack.
Defensively the team is giving up just 29.5 points against. Ross (St. Catharines) is averaging team highs in both rebounds and blocks-per-game with eight and 2.5 respectively while reigning OCAA West Rookie of the Year Courtney McPherson (Welland) looks to be in midseason form averaging eight rebounds-per-game.
