Sixth Conference title and eighth NCAA playoff appearance under Mondillo.
5-6 overall on January 2nd. Won 13 in a row.
Held opponents to an average of 50 points per game during winning streak.
Starters average 22 minutes a game. Non starters average 13 minutes per game.
Averages 18 turnovers a game while forcing 21.
Cotteta and Neill both selected all conference first team.

Both Cottetta and Neill make this team run. But EVERYONE runs. They are three deep from beyond the arc (Neill, Jordan Dominic, Cottetta) with a nice low post preseance. (Alston, Natascha Richardson, Wassell) Freshman Jess Rotella has only gotten better from the start of the season and almost single handedly kept the Griffins from being eliminated by Marywood. Lauren Smith, Cara McCardle and Nicole Dougherty were starters a year ago who have adjusted nicely coming off the bench. Leyes is a key in Modillo's rotation filling in where needed. Mondillo is not afraid to shake things up when things aren't going right by sometimes inserting five new bodies at a time.
