Last week, Crymble led UVM to two straight wins to begin conference play. It is the first time this decade that the Catamounts have opened up their America East schedule with consecutive wins.
 
Against UMass Lowell in Burlington on Wednesday (Jan. 3), Crymble scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds, collected two assists and recorded a steal in a 63-55 win. She went 6-6 at the free throw line and 2-2 from downtown.
 
Crymble also led the way in a 72-58 win at UMBC on Saturday afternoon (Jan. 6). In Baltimore, she posted 19 points (9-13 FG), secured four rebounds and blocked two shots.
