Thursday night against William and Mary, JMU freshman point guard Dawn Evans made her first start since a Jan. 13 game at Old Dominion.
She missed the next four contests after that game with a stress fracture in her left foot, and including her Jan. 31 return from that injury against George Mason, she came off the bench four straight games leading up to Thursday’s matchup.
Evans said she felt 85 percent against the Tribe, but her long-range prowess continued as she connected on four of eight 3-pointers. She scored 14 points and had a game-high five assists, and her chemistry with freshman guard Courtney Hamner was impressive.
“Courtney runs the floor extremely well, so it’s easy to get the ball to her because she’s out there in front of everybody,” Evans said. “I just give it to her because she’s out there.”
That chemistry bodes well for the future of the team. The Dukes are riding a season-high seven game win streak, their best of the season, and are 17-6 overall, 10-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association.
