DAVIS & ELKINS NOTES

Johnson's dominant season continues, as the junior is tied for the Division II lead, averaging 14.3 rebounds/game and holding the top spot with 6.3 offensive rebounds/game.
Peyton Mohler has finished with 11 points in each of the past three games. She scored 15 against West Liberty in 38 minutes during the first meeting.
Beyond Johnson, D&E has four players averaging between 8.6 and 9.8 points/game offensively.
