It was the fourth career 20-point game for Fambro and her first in Horizon League play.

She has now had one 20-point performance in each of her seasons with her last coming at Ball State last year when netted 21.

Her career high is 25 versus BSU in 2010.

THE MAD HATTER
Junior Megan Hatter finished with a season-high 11 points against Cleveland State and that was after scoring seven points for the second-straight game and tying her career high with nine boards against UIC.

In the last three games, she is averaging 8.3 points and 6.0 rebounds, hitting 10-of-19 (52.6%) from the field.

BACK IN DOUBLES

SHE'S BACK
Junior Senee Shearer made a successful return to the court at Wright State on Jan. 16, playing 31 minutes and finishing with seven points on a pair of 3-pointers.

Since her return, Shearer has notched nine points against Loyola, 15 with three 3-pointers versus UIC and nine against Cleveland State.

Shearer helped the Titans to a 20-win campaign and a trip to the HL Championship last season, but tore her ACL in the title game after scoring 14 points in the first 23 minutes.

Her 75 3-pointers on the season also ranked second all-time on the Titan single-season list.
