The Barron-led Bobcats cruised to a pair of double-digit NEC victories that ran the team’s win streak to six in a row last week. Barron paced Quinnipiac in scoring during wins over Mount St. Mary’s and Wagner. The 5-foot-7 junior guard, who has moved into second place amongst the league’s scoring leaders (17.6 ppg), averaged a team-high 18.0 points over 22.5 minutes of floor time per contest. She also managed to maintain her NCAA lead in steals (4.6 spg) with 10 thefts during the two-game sample. She tallied 17 points, five steals, and a pair of blocks in 22 minutes against Wagner. Two days after the 77-60 win over the Seahawks, Barron spearheaded an 89-73 triumph over the Mount by turning in 19 points, five steals, and three rebounds over 23 minutes of action. The three-time Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week during the month of January shot well from the field, connecting on 13 of 24 attempts (.542) during the back-to-back victories.
