The Eagles of Emory University have yet to play a game this season, but are coming off of a solid 19-7 campaign. Despite EU losing their top scorer, the Eagles returned senior standout Daniella Aronsky. The guard averaged 10 points and a team-high 6.5 assists per game last season, finishing ranked 18th in Division III for total assists (135). This stellar season earned her a spot on the D3hoops.com All-Region Second Team.
Panthers to Watch
One Panther to watch this game is freshman forward
Tianna Rabsatt. In last week's win, Rabsatt showcased her defensive skills by securing a team-high four blocks in addition to her eight rebounds. It will be interesting to see how the young forward does against a veteran Emory frontcourt.
