DAVIS & ELKINS NOTES

• Jamiyah Johnson leads the nation with 15.0 rebounds/game and is first in offensive rebounds/game (6.2) and double-doubles.
• Across all NCAA divisions of both men's and women's basketball, only three players average 15 rebounds/game or better: Rah Rah Thompson of Albertus Magnus (16.1 – NCAA DIII WBB), Mike Rapoza of Anna Maria (15.5 – NCAA DIII MBB) and Johnson (15.0 – NCAA DII WBB).
• Johnson and Sydney Nestor both recorded double-doubles in the first meeting of the season with the Falcons last December in Elkins. The duo has each started and played in all 21 games this season, the only two players on the squad to do so.
