The four seniors that were honored, Brekia Henderson, Shaunt'e Tucker, Nina Guillaume and Marta Oledzka all contributed, scoring 36 of the Fighting Knights's 58 points.

STATS OF THE GAME:

• Seniors left their mark on senior night, scoring 62% of the team's points.

• Henderson and Tucker led the Blue and White with 11 and 13 points, respectively.
• As it has been all season, the defensive effort from the home team was high-pressure and caused nine steals, as opposed to the visiting team's four.
• The Fighting Knights played excellent defense at the rim as well, rejecting the ball eight times from four different players; Oledzka led the team with five, but Tucker Penascino and Vazquez Concepcion each had a block to compliment her.
• Christine Prasse has been a threat all season for teams opposing Nova Southeastern, and she struck again, scoring a game-high 20 points, and the only other member of the Sharks to reach double-digits was Samantha Logan with 10.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE:

• Every member of the Blue and White that stepped on the court scored at least two points.
• Williams, who typically leads the team on the boards, was limited to just one rebound and two points.
• The Fighting Knights have played well at home all season, finishing 7-5 at the de Hoernle Center.
• Guillaume's three as time expired caused a standing ovation and a nice positive to end senior day. Last game she logged time was Nov. 22 versus Tuskegee.
