Junior Shania Johnson leads the Seawolves, averaging 13.0 points per game.

KEEP IT ROLLING
The Orange sit at 7-0 on the season, marking just the ninth time in program history that Syracuse has started the season with seven consecutive wins. It's the best start for the Orange since the 2013-14 season when the team won eight straight games to open the year.

Five of the nine 7-0 starts have come under the direction of head coach Quentin Hillsman, including a program-best 12-game winning streak to open the 2009-10 season. When starting the season 7-0, the Orange have posted a winning record in eight of their nine campaigns. The only losing season came in 1997-98 when the team went 12-15.

A HELPING HAND
Mangakahia continues to impress, averaging 11.9 assists per game through seven outings this season. She currently leads the nation in assists (83) and assists per game (11.9) and has accumulated six double-doubles this year, good for third in the country.

The Australia native has posted 10 or more assists in seven consecutive games, the only NCAA Division I basketball athlete to accomplish that feat this season. Her 17 assists against Vanderbilt are the most single-game assists by a female Division I basketball player this year.
