Apo averaged 19.7 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.7 rebounds over Sacred Heart’s final three non-conference games, two of which were wins. The 5-foot-9 guard shot 48 percent (20-of-41) during the stretch, which began with a 67-59 road victory at Binghamton on December 21. Following 12 points and four assists against the Bearcats, Apo closed out the 2009 calendar year by posting back-to-back 20-point performances. Her game-high 26 points, which came on 9-for-15 shooting, eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals powered the Pioneers past local rival Yale. The reigning NEC Player of the Year poured in another 21 points to go along with eight assists on the road at Siena. Apo, who has scored in double digits during every game this season except for the season opener, heads into Northeast Conference play as the league’s second-leading scorer (17.0 ppg).
