For the entire season, Fugate and Tripp tied for the team lead in both points (361) and points per game (13.4). Fugate led the squad in three-point field goal percentage (.352 / 45-of-128), three-pointers made (45), total rebounds (174), rebounds per game (6.4), defensive rebounds per game (153) and minutes played (892).
