• The Mids responded with their deciding 7-0 stretch. A Morganne Andrews putback with 1:26 left put the home side in front for good in a contest which had 10 ties and 17 lead changes.
• Therien hit 7 of 13 shots from the field, and she grabbed double-digit rebounds for a 10th time in the last 11 games. Dixon, who reached double figures for a fourth-straight contest and a 13th time overall on the year, matched a career best with four 3-pointers.

Five Of A Kind

• Loyola's Lex Therien earned her second-consecutive Patriot League Rookie of the Week Award on Monday, her fifth such recognition this season after a double-double for the second week in a row. She scored 13.5 points and grabbing 10.0 rebounds per game in contests against Army West Point and Navy.
• Therien started the week with a 9-point, 10-rebound outing against Army West Point before she went for 18 and 10 Saturday against the Midshipmen. She also had a career-high-tying four steals at Navy.
• Entering this season, Loyola players had earned 15 Rookie of the Week Awards since the Greyhounds joined the Patriot League in 2013-14, a total that is up to 21 with Therien's Five and Laura Salmerón's one earlier this year. Five of the previous awards were bestowed upon Therien's older sister, Isabella, the 2017-18 conference Rookie of the Year.

• The Greyhounds have been tied, or held a lead, in the fourth quarter of 13 of their 21 games this season.

• With her 10-point, 10-rebound game on January 15 against Lehigh, Lex Therien recorded her fourth-straight double-double. She is the first Loyola player to have four in a row in 11 years since Miriam McKenzie did it four games in a row from January 22-30, 2011.

• She equaled those 22 minutes and scored a career-high 12 points, making four of the six 3-pointers she attempted. Her 12 points eclipsed her previous high of eight from the Greyhounds' season-opener at Niagara where she scored eight.
• Tañedo has continued to earn more playing time for the Greyhounds and drew a season-high 36 minutes on January 22 against American. In that game, she grabbed a career-best nine rebounds.

• The Greyhounds got a boost to their rotation on February 2 against Army West Point when Laryn Edwards returned to the lineup after missing the previous 11 games with an injury.
