Pryor continues to shred defenses with her versatility to score at all levels. The league’s top bucket getter had yet another impressive week, averaging 24.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.0 steals to pace Sacred Heart to two more league victories. Defeating FDU and Central Connecticut in convincing fashion, the Pios improved to 12-2 in conference play and remain in sole possession of first place with their eighth- and ninth-straight victories. Pryor approached triple-double territory for the third time this season and came painstakingly close to accomplishing the feat for the second time after charting 22 points, 10 boards and nine dimes in Thursday’s 75-63 win over FDU. Later in the week, the Baltimore native came one point shy of her career high with 26 points in a 73-55 road win at Central Connecticut. On the week, Pryor went 58.1 percent from the field (18-of-31). She has been on an absolute tear as of late with 20-point performances in each of her past four games and in that stretch, she is averaging 24.0 points per contest. The nine-time NEC Player of the Week honoree is putting up a conference-best 20.0 points a night against league opponents. She enters the penultimate week of the regular season leading the circuit in scoring (18.4 ppg), assists (4.67 apg), steals (3.30 spg) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.14), while her 7.0 boards per contest are good for fourth overall.
