Deep-Shooting Marksman
Senior forward Rachel Artrip needs four made three-pointers to tie Holly Bibb for 10^th all-time on made triples at Concord. Additionally, five made three-point field goals will tie Artrip with Meghan Cole for ninth all-time.

Morgan is third in assists per game (4.5) and fourth in assists-to-turnover ratio (1.59) while Smith is second in free-throw percentage (85 percent) and 13^th in scoring (13.5).

Helping Out
During its three-game win streak, Concord has had 14, 21 and 16 assists. The last time Concord had 14 or more assists in at least three straight games was when they had four games of 14 or more assists from Feb. 8-22, 2014.

UP NEXT
