Barron led the Bobcats to back-to-back NEC victories for a second consecutive week and has back-to-back NEC Player of the Week awards to show for her individual efforts. The 5-foot-7 floor general accounted for nearly one point per minute of floor time, pouring in 36 points over 42 minutes of total action last week. She averaged a team-high 18.0 points and 3.0 assists per contest during the two-game NEC road swing and spearheaded a landmark win over Merritt Parkway rival Sacred Heart. The Bobcats had lost 14 consecutive games in Sacred Heart’s Pitt Center heading into Monday night’s matchup with the lone remaining NEC unbeaten. Helping serve SHU its first loss at both home and in NEC play this season, Barron put up 26 points, tying her single-game career high, to go along with three boards and three assists. The veteran guard was 10-for-20 shooting from the floor, including a 4-for-8 clip from downtown, in the 71-34 triumph over the Pioneers. Two days before contributing to SHU’s worst home loss in program history, Barron tallied 10 points and three assists during an 84-47 road victory at Bryant. The veteran Bobcat posted a 2:1 assist-to-turnover margin last week while maintaining her status as the NCAA leader in steals per game (4.5).
