O’Connor opened the season by making three starts last week, returning to the floor nearly 11 months after injury derailed her 2019-20 campaign in Smithfield. The redshirt freshman totaled 20 points and accounted for an .833 free throw percentage during the season’s opening week. O’Connor’s top statistical showing was a driving force behind Bryant’s first victory of the season. The rookie guard tallied a career-best 10 points along with seven rebounds and five assists during a 75-52 triumph over America East member New Hampshire. O'Connor went a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line with all six makes coming during the fourth quarter of the three-point win. O'Connor recorded multiple steals in each of the first two games, highlighted by four swipes in the opener against A-10 member UMass.
