Barron continued her torrid play during Quinnipiac’s swing through the Keystone State.  The junior point guard averaged 25.0 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.5 steals per contest in winning efforts at Robert Morris and Saint Francis (PA), two teams that received first-place votes in the NEC preseason coaches’ poll.  Barron shot well from all areas of the floor during the two-game sample.  She hit 56 percent (14-for-25) of her field goal attempts, including a 9-for-16 (.563) clip from downtown.  Barron made 13 of 15 (.867) free throw attempts, the bulk of which came in Monday night’s victory at Robert Morris.  The 5-foot-7 Bobcat went to the line 12 times, hitting 11 freebies, on her way to a game-high 26 points in the 82-74 triumph. Two days earlier, she poured in 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting and logged five assists in an 85-73 win over the defending NEC champion Red Flash.  Although her average dipped below the 5.0 per game mark, Barron still leads all of NCAA Division I in steals (4.9 spg).
