Anaya Peoples has led the offensive effort for DePaul through the first nine games, pacing three Blue Demons averaging double figures with 21.0 points per game.
Peoples has six 20+ point performances on the campaign with her scoring average ranking 19th nationally and is second in the BIG EAST. Her 8.0 rebounds per game is fourth in the league.
Jorie Allen has taken her game to a new level since returning from the Bahamas, finishing in double figures in all three games and averaging 15.6 points and 7 rebounds while shooting 71-percent from the field during the home stretch.
Sophomore guard Kate Clarke has finished in double figures in seven games on the year, averaging 14.7 points per game while shooting 41-percent from three-point range.

The Blue Demons rank second in the BIG EAST in steals, having recorded seven or more steals in seven of nine contests this season and tallying 10 or more takeaways on five occasions.
Friday is DePaul's second matchup of the season against an ACC opponent having traveled to face then-No. 17 Louisville on the road last month, a seven-point loss.
Friendly faces will be reunited inside the Watsco Center on Friday evening as Miami's Jaida Patrick and DePaul's Michelle Sidor were high school teammates for four seasons at Saddle River Day in Upper Saddle River, N.J.
