The senior reached the 1,000-point mark at Valparaiso on Dec. 11 with her 12 points (exactly the number needed to reach the plateau). Harrison is the fourth Panther under Coach Berenato and the 16th in total to reach 1,000. Harrison s Huddle Harrison led the team in scoring for the first time this season when she did so versus Duke (16 points) on Nov. 24. She has had double figure scoring in 10 of 12 games, including a string of four-straight that came to a halt against DePaul (nine points). Harrison, averaging 12.3 points a game, is currently sporting another four-game double-digit scoring streak. Harrison leads the team in field goals made per game (4.8) and attempted (11.7). Action From the Arc Harrison paced the squad in three-pointers a season ago. The fourth-year player racked up 53 triples during the season. The next most by a Pitt player was Shayla Scott with 38. Harrison - this season - has drained 12 three-pointers. Harrison shot 7-of-21 (.333) from three in the first four games... but has gone 5-of-38 in the last eight games (.131). Nearly 45 percent of Harrison s total field goal attempts this season have come from behind the arc.

Back For More Shayla Scott reached a season-high in points versus Loyola on Nov. 28, dropping 16 against the Greyhounds. Even brighter, the forward shot 6-of-6 from the field in the game (2-of-2 from long range). Scott is 15th among the BIG EAST sharpshooters. She is 17-of-36 from downtown over the last six games (.472) % before an 0-of-4 outing against DePaul on Dec. 7 and a 1-of-4 at Valpo. Scott has also been a consistent force in rebounding, averaging a team second-best 7.3 per game. She has tallied six or more rebounds in eight games and grabbed double-digit totals three times - including a season-best 13 in the last game out versus Austin Peay. It s In the Family Scott. who scored in double figures in 16 games in , has Pitt ties running in her blood. Shayla s mother, Jennifer Bruce, ranks second on the Panthers all-time scoring list, having accumulated 2,295 points from Scott started 26 of 31 games last season and finished third on the year in scoring (10.2 ppg) and in minutes (29.5). Scott and her parents are not her parents are not the only ballers in the family. Younger brother Tyler was recently selected the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Preseason Player of the Year as a junior (Gateway HS. Monroeville). History So, So Close Scott had nine points, 13 rebounds (her 12th career double digit rebounding afternoon) and eight assists (career-best) against Youngstown State on Nov. 12. That despite playing just 28 minutes. The forward was on pace to grab the program s first triple-double since 2002 before foul trouble sent her to the bench. Scott did it again - come so close - against Austin Peay. The senior recorded 12 points, 13 rebounds in eight assists in the win. Wide Wingspan Senior forward Chelsea Cole kept up her feverish pace on the boards with the kick off of the season. The forward has posted double-digit rebounds in nine of the team s first 12 games (while closing the season with double-digit rebounds in the last seven-straight games). Cole had posted double-digit rebounds in the last 10 straight games before Duke on Nov when she grabbed a season-low four caroms. That means Cole has recorded 10 or more rebounds in 16 of the last 19 games she has appeared in. She is averaging 10.3 rebounds a game, second among BIG EAST leaders.
