Lanpher was a force to be reckoned with on offense this season, ranking seventh in scoring in the NEC (13.5 pts. per game), first in free throw percentage (.846), and 10th in assists (2.5 per game). She has scored in double figures in 15 out of her 23 games played this season and 11 out of her last 14. Lanpher is 66-78 at the free throw line this season and 161-196 for her career, 82.1 percent, which ranks her third in CCSU program history. She earned NEC Player of the Week honors on February 6th after averaging 29 points over two games (30 vs Saint Francis Brooklyn and 28 vs Sacred Heart). Her career-high of 30 points against Saint Francis Brooklyn was the first time a Blue Devil has scored 30 points in a single game since 12/14/20 when Emma McCamus scored 30 at Saint Francis Brooklyn.
Rohkohl ranks second in the NEC with 7.8 rebounds per game and first in blocks at 1.5 per game. She notched three double doubles this season, her last being against Wagner on 2/16 with 11 points and 17 rebounds (seven offensive). In that same game, Rohkohl tallied eight blocks, the most blocks in a single game out of any NEC player this season. She was named the NEC Rookie of the Week twice this season (12/5 and 12/19).
The Blue Devils will face the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights tonight at 7:00 pm in Hackensack, NJ in the Northeast Conference Tournament Quarterfinals.
