Controlling the floorÂ
Emilia Long continues to be efficient on the court this season. The guard has made 6+ field goals in the last four games to add on her four-game double-digit scoring streak. Long was on the verge of her fourth 20+ point game at Saint Mary's with 19 points, shooting 50% from the field (8-of-16).Â
The Washington native sits third among the Mountain West in FG% shooting at 47% (56-of-119) and takes the top-150 in the nation (142nd). Taking third in the conference in field goals made (56) put the guard at 128th in the nation.Â
Hot HandsÂ

Long takes first in steals with 36 steals and averages 3.6 steals per game, also good for first in the MW. With 36 steals through ten games that places Long at 11th in the nation in steals. The guard has only recorded three games this season with less than four steals, marking a season-high seven steals at Saint Mary's - tied for the most this season by a MW Player.Â
Gamble rounds out the top five with 21 steals this season, averaging 2.1 steals per game. The California native saw a season-high five steals against Pepperdine. Gamble has played all but two games with at least 2+ steals per game.Â
