Lau was the lone NEC rookie to open the season by recording a double-double. A bright spot for St. Francis (NY) in its lid-lifting setback to Manhattan, the 5-foot-10 forward tallied 16 points and 12 rebounds during 38 minutes of floor time. Her first career start also included one block, one steal, and two three-pointers. Lau shot 6-of-15 from the field and finished 2-for-3 at the free throw line.
