She is the active leader in both categories.
Quillinan has contributed to the Orange's success on both ends of the field. She has recorded 59 points (48g, 11a) this season. On the defensive end, she has caused a team-high 34 turnovers.

Hogan, who earns All-Region First Team honors for the third consecutive season, earned the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year award and was a unanimous selection to the All-BIG EAST First Team.
