Coming off an 87-62 win over Purdue Fort Wayne Friday, DePaul is 2-0 on the young season, winning its first two games by an average of 25.0 points and scoring 88.5 points per game.
First-year guard Mikaia Litza leads the team with 16.0 points per game and is averaging 7.5 assists to open the season. She is shooting 61.1 percent from the field, including 6-for-8 from 3-point range. Litza had 17 points, nine assists and four steals in the win over Purdue Fort Wayne.
Fourth-year forward Louis Volker has started the season with back-to-back double-doubles: 11 points and 11 rebounds against Evansville, then 14 points and a career-high 15 rebounds Friday. Volker is averaging 12.5 points and posting a team-best 13.0 rebounds per game.
Zoey Ward continues to impress following a 10-point, 15-rebound double-double Friday. She is averaging 15.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
Second-year guard Gina Davorija has provided a spark off the bench, averaging 14.0 points with 12 assists. Doyinsola Lijirin has crashed the glass, pulling down 17 rebounds through the first two games.
The Blue Demons are out-rebounding opponents by 22.0 per game, including a 60-30 edge over Purdue Fort Wayne with 21 offensive boards. DePaul has assisted on 51 of its 62 made field goals.
Scouting Stonehill
Stonehill (0-2) closes a season-opening road trip that has taken it to Providence, Notre Dame and DePaul in a six-day span. The Skyhawks fell 79-65 to Providence in the opener Nov. 3, then dropped a 123-40 decision at No. 13/13 Notre Dame Friday.
Senior guard Brooke Paquette leads the charge, averaging 13.0 points per game through the first two games. She was named preseason All-NEC after earning first-team All-NEC honors a season ago.
Head coach Trisha Brown is in her 26th season at Stonehill. The Skyhawks went 12-18 overall and 8-10 in the Northeast Conference last season. NEC coaches picked them to finish third ahead of the 2026-27 season, and they received two first-place votes.
Series Stuff
DePaul leads the all-time series 1-0. The Blue Demons beat Stonehill 99-52 in the first meeting between the programs, in November 2023 at Wintrust Arena. Katlyn Gilbert posted the seventh triple-double in program history in that game with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals. Kate Clarke, then a sophomore, scored a career-high 17 points.
Up Next
DePaul concludes its season-opening homestand Wednesday, Nov. 11, against Northern Illinois. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.
