INDIVIDUAL NOTES
// With her first basket of the game, sophomore Teniya Page joined the exclusive 1,000-point club in just her sophomore season.
// The Chicago, Ill. native, became just the fourth Penn State sophomore to reach 1,000 points. She joined a club that includes Kelly Mazzante, Maggie Lucas and Susan Robinson ââ'¬" all who reached 2,000 points for their careers.
// Page set a Penn State Big Ten Tournament record with 35 tallies. Her 35 points bested Mazzante's 34 points against Wisconsin on March 3, 2002
// Furthermore, the 35 points are tied for the third-most points ever scored in a Big Ten Tournament game in the history of the event.
// The 35 points are also the most scored by a player in a losing effort in Big Ten Tournament history.
// Page moved up two spots on the career scoring charts, passing Helen Holloway (1,022, 1991-94) and Rashana Barnes (1,24, 1999-2002), and is seated at No. 36 with 1,033 career points.
// Furthermore, Page's 35 points mark her fifth career 30-point game, which ranks No. 4 all-time at Penn State. It was her fourth such effort of the season, the most since Mazzante accounted for nine 30-point contests in 2002-03.
// Graduate student Sierra Moore posted her first double-double of the season and fourth of her career with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
// Of Moore's 11 rebounds, nine of them were of the offensive variety.
// Redshirt-freshman Amari Carter handed out five assists to move into a tie for No. 6 on the freshman season assists charts with Alex Bentley. Carter now has 125 helpers, equaling Bentley's total from the 2009-10 campaign.
