SCOUTING THE GOLDEN GRIFFINS

She is averaging 18.4 points-per-game. Tiana Pugh is shooting 52% from the field and averages over 10 points-per game.
 
This is their second season under head coach Scott Hemer led Canisius to a 11-19 overall record and 9-9 conference mark during his first season on Main Street.

SERIES HISTORY
The Catamounts are 5-3 all-time against Canisius including a perfect 4-0 mark at Patrick Gym. Last season the Golden Griffins defeated Vermont 67-46 on December 21, 2018. Canisius forward Danielle Sanderlin led the team in scoring with 17 points in the contest.

CATHY INGLESE PATCHES
This season the Catamounts are wearing jersey patches to honor our former Head Coach Cathy Inglese. Inglese was the head coach at Vermont for seven seasons, from 1986 to 1993. She led UVM to unprecedented success with its first two conference titles, in 1992 and 1993, and its first two trips to the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship.
These patches will be worn at home and on the road this season to honor the memory of Coach Inglese who tragically passed away this summer.
