When she has taken more than 4 shots in a game this year, William & Mary is 3-0. When she takes 4 or fewer shots, they are 0-3. It’s always tough to distill down a team’s wins and losses into a single stat, but I think that gets at a big part of the formula for W&M this year.

One interesting note is that this was the 3rd weekend double-header that NU has played so far this year. It’s the 2nd time in a row that Izzy Scane took fewer shots in the 2nd game than the first. I’m guessing that defenses who got burned on Friday are not really up for doing it again in the 2nd match-up.

Up next: 2 big games against Maryland.

And 7 of those goals came courtesy of Seims who continued her hot shooting. The fact that she is shooting 41%,which reducing her turnover rate to .22 (career best) is a big part of the reason why Wagner is posted their best offensive efficiency since at least 2015.

But since we live in the present, let’s dig into that Marquette stat line. 50% shooting resulted in 5 goals on 10 shots, most of those goals unassisted. She added in 2 GBs and an assist to round things out.

Watson is another example of a player that has increased her productivity thanks to better ball security. Her TO rate (.29) is down from .40 last year which has led to an increase in shot attempts (8.0 vs 6.3). Her shooting percentage is down from last year, so if she’s able to get that back on track, expect to see a lot more of her on this list.

But then she’s also had a game where she took zero shots (American) and a game where she went 0/4 (La Salle). The flip side is that against the best D that Lehigh has played (St. Joe’s 11th), she took 9 shots and scored 3 goals. I’m guessing that this is a situation where defenses are choosing to key on Dickey in some cases. Fortunately for Lehigh, in the 2 games where she had her worst shooting, her teammates picked up the slack and they still got the win.

But here she is again, after a 7-point day against Coastal Carolina. The interesting thing for HPU and Britton is that she was this productive without having a dominating role in the offense. Compare this with the Vanderbilt game. Against CCSU, her play share was just 9.3%. Against Vandy, it was 18.4%. In this game, she generated 7.5 EGA; in that one, it was 7.7 EGA.

The kicker though is that the HPU offense scored on 35.6% of their possessions against CCSU (a win) vs 32.5% against Vanderbilt (a loss).

Part of the reason the EGA figures are lower is that this game was played at a much slower pace than the UVA game. Against the Cavaliers, Boston College had 48 offensive possessions, that lasted 37s on average. In this one, they had 37 possessions (2nd lowest of the year) which lasted 45s on average.

Lower EGA, but that’s perfectly fine with the Eagles I’m sure. You’ll take fewer possessions and higher efficiency any day.

But this paragraph is supposed to be about Maddie Myers, who made her second appearance on the weekly EGA list for her 56% shooting day. ASU has the 36th rated defensive unit (after adjusting for opponent strength), and that was what was did in Davis. They turned the ball over on 42% of their possessions in this game. The only game with a worse mark was their game against Stanford. Surprise surprise, this game was their second lowest offensive efficiency behind…the Stanford game.

Even the efficiency numbers for Florida were basically the same in both games. Must have been weird to watch the Sunday game; I’m sure fans felt like they were watching a replay.

But Hanna Hilcoff makes her inaugural appearance on this list because of her game against the Cal Bears on Saturday. Of note this year for Hilcoff is how many more shots she’s getting. Through 5 games, she is averaging 11 shots/gm, after just 6.1 last year.
